You've all been told that the Earth is a sphere, but this is not something your day-to-day experience can easily confirm. Looking outside,you see buildings, trees, maybe some hills or valleys... very little evidence that the Earth's surface is curved. Even when you're at the shore of a large lake or the ocean, the water near the horizon appears quite flat. How then do you know that the Earth is round? This webquest was based on the Grade 8 curriculum before the updates but it would work with the Grade 6 curriculum today.
