WebQuest is an online induced learning tool for a project-based teaching and the technique aid students in developing their knowledge through the tasks outlined so as to find an answer to a problem (Nathai-Balkissoon, Marcia, and Sean 100). As such, the topic being environmental pollutions, scholars have just concluded studying impacts of pollution on the ecosystem and realized there is a part that the textbook did not discuss pertaining to the subject matter.
Task
The students are to develop a three-page presentation to explore on impacts of pollution to the ecosystem. The assignment is to entail pictures, texts, and pleasing to look at and findings are to be presented in class.
Process
The students are to utilize the links provided on their worksheet and gather the information to help in answering the assignment. Learners will take notes on their think sheets on what to include in the presentation then open a document to develop the presentation.

Resources
Students are to use the available computers in the school to accomplish the assignment and creating the presentation. Notably, the project will be incorporated during the time of presentation.
Evaluation
Students are expected to work independently to finish the assignment and develop a presentation as it will enhance insight understanding of the topic. Importantly, one has to attain a minimum score of 80% to be determined proficient in this assessment.
| Beginning (10) | Developing (40) | Accomplished (100) | Total Scores (100) | |
| Information | Some of the materials are present, however, there is lack of information flow. | At least five facts are incorporated and there is chronology in information and credit to the source. | More than five facts are used, credit to the source, and information is flowing. | |
