**Photosynthesis WebQuest**

The goal of this web quest is to learn to use multiple sources of information from the internet to research an idea. The questions below require a minimal to moderate amount of time to cover. I don't expect you to read over each and every part of each site that I send you to. Still, it is a quest in the fact that I am asking that you locate information from these sites, and some of this information is not going to be right in front of you. Thus, it might take you a few minutes to find what you are looking for. Don't spend more then 10 minutes at any one site. Some site should take you no more than a minute or two. Write down your answers on a piece of paper.
