WebQuests
These webquests focus on the Olympic Games.
SALT
LAKE CITY OLYMPIC TREASURE HUNT
http://www2.lhric.org/pocantico/olympics/saltlake.htm
How much does it cost to attend the Olympic medal ceremony? What are the
mascots for Salt Lake City? And how long is the Olympic torch? After answering
the questions on the 2002 Olympic Games on this treasure hunt, let student
teams use the accompanying sites to create their own questions for classmates.

GOLD

Taking a different approach, students must devise a fitness and nutrition
regimen to compete as athletes in up- coming Olympic Games (this webquest
was addressed to the 2000 Olympic games and therefore to the summer Olympics
and its corresponding sports events--adapt the webquest accordingly for
the Winter Olympics--see resources, above). Both journals and written
essays are required.
ANCIENT
OLYMPIC TREASURE HUNT
http://www2.lhric.org/pocantico/olympics/ancienthunt.htm
Tighten your togas and head on in to this webquest, back in time to explore
the ancient Olympic games. Students will respond to a set of eleven guided
questions; again, use the resources above for site research.
