WELCOME JR. EXPLORERS!
If you have made it this far you should be very proud! Now that you have completed your entrance challenge you can begin your missions. We are so excited that you have chosen the oceans track! Click on mission 1 (or the one you left off on last day) to get back to exploring. Once you finish reading about your mission it will link you back to this page and you will use the information below to complete your mission.
For ALL of your missions you will have to keep an explorer's log. This means you will copy over any information and ideas you like or want to use, from the sites you explore below, onto our class log for each day of exploration. You may also use it as a personal journal of facts that interested you in your web-quest explorations. The teacher will give you a personal code to access this log. Evidence you have been writing in this log will make up a portion of your final mark.
Upon completing your missions your teacher will present you with your OCEANS BADGE.
