| "You're an Adult Now!" WebQuest |
| http://teachersnetwork.org/teachnetusa/jcole/cole.htm |
| Students have difficulty managing their money. As adults, they will have to effectively allocate their limited resources within the typical wants and needs of everyday life. The students are given a scenario where they are adults with a yearly salary of $31,500. They start out thinking that they are doing fairly well, until they have to find a place to live that is within their budget. |

| A New Slant on Math: The Leaning Tower of Pisa |
| http://teachersnetwork.org/teachnetnyc/fianni/pisa.htm |
The Leaning Tower of Pisa will help a wide range of students that have different learning styles. It is quite amazing how much mathematics can be related to an old falling tower. Italian students, art students, and business students are going to fall in love with the idea of planning a trip, studying the history of the tower, and the fascinating physics that is involved in a falling, but not falling tower.
