An answer sheet is included for the teacher. QR codes and regular website links are included. The webquest takes most students at least 20 to 40 minutes to complete depending on the age of your students. Feel free to modify this activity if needed to fit the needs of your students. I highly suggest this webquest for students in grades 4-8. I also suggest it as a review, introduction, or as a substitute lesson plan. This is a no prep activity.
