My newest project is the addition of printable quizzes (worksheets?) to our Surfnetkids Printables Club membership area. Would you like a free peek? I’d be happy to give you a glimpse, in exchange for your feedback.
Here is my question for you.
Is “worksheet” or “quiz” or “webquest” the best way to describe this printable handout?
Lewis and Clark Printable Quiz (or Worksheet or Webquest or ??) and Answer Key
Please let me know what you think by posting your answers here.
P.S. Since you’ve been so kind, here is a link to all of this week’s Louisiana Purchase printables (usually reserved for members only.)

I think it would be a worksheet or study guide for a test. It’s really cool. I’m 46 am am going to do the work sheet to refresh my memory.
Thanks GinnyForestal Mother of 6
It’s an interesting quiz after a search for facts. It is not a webquest, but more like a scavenger hunt. To be a webquest, it would need to be more involved with essential questions, roles, and an end product that involves some new synthesized learning by the students. This does not call for new learning. Perhaps this could be an intro to a webquest, giving students some background knowledge.
What a wonderful resource! The name would depend on how the teacher adapts and uses it. Thanks for all of the excellent materials you provide for teachers and students, it is much appreciated.
I agree that it can be a worksheet or a quiz, depending on how and when the teacher decides to use it.
Thanks for sharing the quiz. These will definitely help the children to search for and learn more about the topic. Thanks.
I would call it a research guide or worksheet since it is a “search for facts”. It could easily become a webquest by using it as is and then adding one or more critical thinking questions or an assignment to create a product for students to publish with their findings (news article, brochure, slideshow, etc.). Great resources on your website.
I think it is a quiz rather than a webquest.
It does lack the skill of having students draw conclusions or to express their opinions. Students are often lacking in these skills. This is shown often in their lack of ablility to write complete sentences and paragraphs.
I think it could be used as all three depending on the teacher. Good job!
Because your “quiz” focused mostly on rote memory details, it would make a great tool to check students’ thoroughness of pre-assigned reading (on the web, in books, in handouts – whatever). So I guess you could call it a quiz in that sense. However, especially for a topic quiz in 5th to 6th grade, I would hope that questions would be more “thinking” questions and focus on applying the facts to the situation (cause and effect, what might have happened differently, etc.)
I think for it to be a webquest, you would have the specific website where the student would find the answer for the question, instead of a group of websites for the whole assignment.
I wouldn’t call it a quiz. It could be termed an activity or assignment.
I agree that it can be used however one wants. It can be a quick quiz, a webquest (with some sites included), or a worksheet of sorts.
Great resource – why not go the whole hog and have a flash quiz version that could be open in another tab. This would then allow students to do the webquiz on one page and enter their answers on another tab to be marked and feedback given in terms of how they’ve done.
I would call this a quiz because you give the multiple choice answers for the students to choose from. If there were no answers and the children had to find the information themselves, it would be more of a research piece, whether by Internet or through books.
Hi my beloved Mum ithank you for this witty project to me its aquiz that can be used as a webquest .I hope we Kenyan teachers we will find it very helpful.I invite you tovisit us here in Kenya .I will be your Host Ilove and i appreciate your great work.May God bless you.Are you going to visit Kenya? I gladly invite you.thank you.
I like the webquiz or just quiz. A webquest is set up to use specific websites for its answers. This could be used with a variety of media resources and not limited to just internet.
