Hi my name is Stephanie Lugo. I am a student in Atlantic Cape Community College to become a teacher. I made this webquest for students in grades 4-6. I chose the theme of electricity, because I think it is an important concept that children should learn. The websites included are interactive and fun. This will keep the the students engaged and motivated,
