For my final project I created a WebQuest that allowed my students to take on the roles of doctors and diagnose a patient with a disorder of one of the body's systems. The students use the patient's case file to figure out what system is affected and then look for treatments and outcomes for their patient. This activity brings a new dimension to biology. It is like a treasure hunt for the students to complete in order to review the body systems.
I plan on using this in my classroom next year. It combines a number of skills that are necessary for the students to pass the Living Environment Regents. The systems are the basis of a majority of the Regents exam.
The lesson plan portion of this assignment was useful, but I would never use the teach-nology site again for this purpose. It produced a very unorganized looking lesson plan. i would have preferred to complete it in word.
