Project Quest is a 6th grade interdisciplinary unit that challenges students to investigate a variety of present day and historical issues with water, and select a topic of interest. Working in small groups, students investigate their area of study, analyze data, research historical impacts, build a product to take action and communicate their findings.
Approaching their work from scientific, historical, religious, and artistic lenses, students culminate in a final piece represented as a digital book, a video documentary or a TED-style presentation to peers, faculty and other audience members.
Below are launch points for the NOW, THEN, ACTION! and SHARE segments of Project Quest. Each segment contains a description of what students developed, along with links to student work samples where available.
