Description: This web quest was about how to help 2^nd – 4^th graders to keep their bodies’ healthy through nutrition. The tasks are to look at different foods they eat and there effects on the body and to read a book and watch a film strip on nutrition. On the first day of this lesson the students watch a video about nutrition. On the second day the students research the human body and trace them. Over a weekend the students are to write down what they eat in their nutrition journals. On the final day the teacher reads the students a book about nutrition. I felt this was a helpful web quest. The tasks were easy to understand and were helpful in teaching children about nutrition. The only thing I did not like about this web quest was that it did not have anything to spark a young learner’s attention. It could have been more creative.
