Virtual Watershed and Web Quest Assignment   Goal: The purpose of this assignment is for students to see the effects of human impact on watersheds through viewing virtual tours of actual watersheds, and researching for specific information about watershed through the web quest portion of the assignment. Assignment: Students may choose one of the six assignments listed below. Each different watershed tour and web quest has questions to answer. Then each student will prepare a visual representation to share with the class showing what they have learned.  You will make 10 slides to include the vocab on slide 2 and the information from the websites you visit. The first slide is a title slide with your name, the number of the web quest you are doing, and the date.
