Hello,
Thanks to all who responded. It does give me an idea of what others are doing out
there, and some ideas to present.

Our biology teacher and I annually do a collaboration which teaches
students to evaluate websites and write a basic HTML web page around
weather and/or evolution. The link to details is at

Leanne,
I am currently working on creating a WebQuest with a ninth grade science
teacher in which students are asked to create their own aircraft. My
role is to guide the research, working in lessons on using several
resources. We also work in the bibliographic lesson. The science
teacher and I together try (note the emphasis on try) to then elicit
some level of critical thinking, rather than encouraging a virtual cut
and paste of airline specifications.
Does that help any?

Hi Leanne:
I don't know whether or not this will help. I am a Middle School media
specialist. I am collaborating with an 8th grade English teacher and 8th
grade Science teacher. In a nutshell, we are working to help the students
improve their research skills and their science fair projects. We have been
teaching them proper bibliographic format (aligned with what the high
schools in our county follow) and how to use Microsoft Excel to create
professional quality data for their projects. We plan to expand to include
critical analysis and validity of web sources. This is the first year, but
the expected outcome is a higher quality science project. The Math and
science teachers are also collaborating in my school, but I don't have the
particulars.
