What’s a Web Quest?

Web Quests are fun, online treasure hunts for knowledge. Each Scholastic Web Quest is created for kids and classroom teachers by The American Museum of Natural History, a Scholastic classroom magazine, and the Teacher channel of Scholastic.com. Web Quests for grades 3-6 are designed to accompany or supplement articles from SuperScience. Web Quests for grades 6-10 supplement articles from Science World.

Take your students on a science exploration without leaving the classroom! Try our exciting, standards-based Web Quests today.
