Answer the questions on the handout by using the websites listed below. I do not want you doing a google search. You are not allowed to copy and paste information into a Word Document. Instead, take handwritten notes (in your own words) on the handout or on white-lined notebook paper. I have also provided the questions found on the handout below these links. Therefore, no excuses as to why you have not been able to complete the webquest. Please stay focused. If you do not completed the webquest today, we do have the lab again for tomorrow.
