WEBQUEST TITLE: FORM: ONE SUBJECT: GEOGRAPHY TOPIC: WEATHER WEBQUEST SUB-TOPIC: STEVENSON SCREEN WEBQUEST OBJECTIVES: By the end of the webquest, the learner should be able to describe the qualifications of Stevenson screen in relation to its functions.

A STEVENSON SCREEN

INTRODUCTION Stevenson screen is a white wooden box in a weather station which is used to house thermometers and hygrometers. Instruments found in it are: - Ø Ø Maximum thermometers Minimum thermometers Six’s thermometers Hygrometers (wet and dry bulb thermometers)

Introduction Continued: v Students must research on qualifications of Stevenson screen in relation to its function v They must teach the class about the functions of Stevenson screen

Teacher Introduction v This Web. Quest has been designed to fit within a unit on National Integration the Sub – Topic Stevenson screen v After studying weather (weather station) students will now research on qualifications of stevenson screen in relation to its functions v Students will be assessed on how well they are able to collect information, analyze that information, and how to conclude v The final part of the project is to have the students teach the class about the qualification of Stevenson in relation to its function through a Power. Point presentation.

TASK Groups will be formed and as a representative of your group you will complete the following tasks. You will work in groups of FIVE in order to: 1. Research on the qualifications of Stevenson screen in relation to its function 2. Determine the functions of Stevenson screen Each group will then be responsible for a two component presentation dealing with their research. Each component of their presentation must be presented to the class in a Power Point format.

PROCESS Students are grouped into 5 groups as follows: • Group 1: Lion • Group 2: Elephant • Group 3 : Leopard • Group 4 : Buffalo • Group 5 : Rhino • Each group will carry out a Research on qualification of Stevenson screen that makes it suitable to its function

PROCESS 1. Research on qualification of Stevenson screen that makes it suitable to its function 2. Determine functions of Stevenson screen

Recommended Resources • Computers with Internet access. • Students will also need (POWERPOINT)software that allows them to create a slide show for their class. • You will also need to have a projector or Smartboard for the students to do their presentations.

Non ICT resources q White board q Coloured marking pen q. Pens q. Textbooks q. Notebooks

GUIDELINES Through online research, you will now collect information about QUALIFICATION OF STEVENSON SCREEN IN RELATION TO ITS FUNCTIONS. http: //weatheronline. co. uk http: //bom. gov. au/climate/edo/temperature http: //slideshare. net/mobile http: //weatheronline. com/stevemsonscreen

Assessment And Rubric q Student project presentation; evaluation with rubric made by teacher and shared with class to evaluation student web quest project q Each component of the project will be worth 25% of your grade as follow: • • Oral Presentation 25% Written report 25% Timeline/Visual 25% Power Point presentation 25%

Grade Scale : 33 -36 Points = A 29 -32 Points = B 25 -28 Points = C 21 -24 Points = D The grading will be as follows:

CATEGORY Information Organization Literary Responses and Expression Critical Analysis Social Interaction / Collaboration A The ideas were presented in a rational and logical sequence. It was clear and organized. It was easy to figure out what the presentation was about. It was effectively organized in a creative , innovative and engaging manner B Ideas were expressed in a fairly clear manner, but the organization could have been better. It had an inviting introduction and satisfying conclusion The presentation was fine tuned and well rehearsed The presentation was rehearsed but not fine tuned somewhat organized and unrehearsed and showed little rehearsal unorganized The presentation provides creative and innovative critical analysis of the information gathered. It brings out very innovative conflict resolution strategies The presentation provides critical analysis of information gathered but is rather generalized and provides no innovative strategies of resolving conflicts. There is strong evidence in The presentation the presentation of individual demonstrated fairy strong and group effort. Team work individual and group effort. was displayed in the presentation and in sharing the different tasks C Ideas were somewhat organized, but were not very clear. It took more than one reading to figure out what the presentation was about. D The presentation seemed to be a collection of unrelated sentences. It was very difficult to figure out what the presentation was about. The presentation lacked structure and was difficult to follow. Had weak introduction and conclusion The presentation attempts to provide critical analysis of the information gathered. The information is presented as hard facts. There is no attempt at providing critical analysis There was somewhat an attempt at involving all the team members. A bit of collaboration in carrying out the different tasks was evident The presentation lacked social interaction and team work as only one person tackled all the tasks

Conclusion q You have had the opportunity to Research on Stevenson screen qualifications in relation to its function. q You have a role to play in addressing the issues of weather in terms of reading, recording and anaysing the elements.
