Welcome to my web quest on Antarctica! I hope that you find this a useful resource for your unit of work. I have spent time going through the syllabus' to make sure that this fits into the BOS requirements! I have done the hard work for you, all you have to do is give your students the opportunity to explore my web quest! It is designed to be done in a sequential order and ideally in one sitting, however, i realize that due to time restrictions this may not be feasible... therefore i have taken this into consideration and made links from the home page to the individual tasks. I do suggest that you encourage the students to follow the order of the tasks. As an alternative, this web quest could be used as a project for students to complete at home (depending on the resources available to the individual i.e. computer, internet access). I have prompted that the students  print off each task and put them in a folder to keep as a memory of their expedition and to hand in for marking! The possibilities are endless! Bellow are the outcomes for the NSW BOS syllabus; that fit well with this site. At the bottom of the page are my acknowledgments and links to some of the sites I used to create my quest, check them out!
