Clues from the Poles: A WebQuest about greenhouse gases

Clues from the Poles is a WebQuest designed for middle-school students that explores greenhouse gases and the effects of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This WebQuest has three sections: teachers, students, and resources.

To work with a WebQuest:
The WebQuest file folder has been compressed and will need to be downloaded and uncompressed or "unzipped" in order to access the files. Once the file has been downloaded and unzipped, a new folder with same name will be saved to your desktop. There should be about 24 files in the folder. To start the WebQuest, select the file called "index.htm" and open the file in your browser.
