This webquest is titled "Head in the Clouds". It asks for children to assume the role of a meteorologist, where they must present to the rest of the class the different type of clouds. They are to research links provided in the webquest. In the end, they provide the class with a PowerPoint and lecture, and give them a study sheet on the important terms to know.
This webquest helps children assume the role of the teacher, and how it is to teach on clouds. However, this can only be effective if they have been exposed to using PowerPoint. It doesnt really ask them for measurements, or collecting any data-- this is just for mere presentation skills.

In "Weather", children are weather reporters, and they must report the forecast of an assigned city. Links are provided so they don't get lost navigating the web, and worksheets are given so they keep track of their data. Here, students will graph the weather over a period of ten days. then they will gather the information and present to the rest of the class.
Children must be exposed to weather and temperature before doing this webquest. It can help them on their presentation and organization skills. It's a long task-- thus the teachers must make sure chikldren are on the right track of completing this project.
