Science Mysteries
River of Venom - They set up the lab deep in the Amazon rainforest. They wanted to make "killer" bees less deadly. What they didn't want was to start a rampage. A scientist at the brink of death. A researcher in agony with hundreds of stings. And you're stuck in the middle. Can you find the way out?
Arctica -Flashback: March 1834. Madness strikes the stranded Arctica polar expedition. Inside a cramped camp tent, men babble and walk aimlessly around dead bodies on the floor. One man huddles in a corner clutching his precious journals to his chest. Flash forward: It' s winter. Inside the modern workboat Lady Jane, three people examine these same journals. After 163 years of silence, broken only by rumors of cannibalism and madness, they are determined to learn exactly what happened.
Croak - New town. New job. Tough boss. And suddenly it's up to you to find out why extinction threatens the celebrated frogs in the town park. Read the interactive mystery - unravel the science-based clues - email us your answer - find out if you're right!
Angry Red Planet - When you volunteered to help oversee the simulated spaceflight to Mars, everyone warned you the job would be boring. Of course that was before the oxygen started getting low...
Two Forks, Idaho - It's a small town. There aren't supposed to be secrets. So who's spreading disease around? Nobody knows... it's up to you to find out!

Webquest
A webquest is an exploration based project where students build knowledge based around a theme. The quests usually involve several resource sites and a broad objective, usually resulting in some end-product the students create. Quests will generally take a few days to complete.

Zoobook - A group activity, students research various animals from different taxa and compile a book.
Bioethics Quest (advanced): students explore an issue of bioethics and lead a class discussion
Genetics Webquest - students research a genetic disease and present the information to the class
Donate Blood! - Students research what is involved in blood donation, and create and informational flyer to promote the school's blood drive
Hello Dolly - Investigates cloning, students determine how to legislate cloning
CHEMISTRY:
Evidence for Atoms — Here students will examine the basic premises of modern chemistry, as well as the scientific process, by investigating how observation and experiment led to Dalton's atomic theory.
Powered by Chemistry — The world depends on energy, and all energy is supplied through chemistry of some sort, which the students will learn as they explore the chemistry of current and future energy sources in this WebQuest.
The Chemistry Blimp — This investigation explores the chemistry of lighter-than-air flight, from the basics of hot-air balloon buoyancy to the surprising chemistry of the Hindenburg disaster.

Mystery of the Bones - anatomy students reconstruct skeletons and attempt to identify remains
Zoobook - A group activity, students research various animals from different taxa and compile a book.
Bioethics Quest (advanced): students explore an issue of bioethics and lead a class discussion
Genetics Webquest - students research a genetic disease and present the information to the class
Donate Blood! - Students research what is involved in blood donation, and create and informational flyer to promote the school's blood drive
Hello Dolly - Investigates cloning, students determine how to legislate cloning
CHEMISTRY:
Evidence for Atoms — Here students will examine the basic premises of modern chemistry, as well as the scientific process, by investigating how observation and experiment led to Dalton's atomic theory.
Powered by Chemistry — The world depends on energy, and all energy is supplied through chemistry of some sort, which the students will learn as they explore the chemistry of current and future energy sources in this WebQuest.
