BRIDGE TO THE BARRENS
PROJECTS AND CHALLENGES
The Long Island Pine Barrens Society believes young people have the power to become effective advocates
for the environment; first they need the proper learning tools. The Society has teamed up with educators and
environmental experts to create a collection of fun and interactive webquests and lesson plans designed to
encourage proper research, successful group learning and applied knowledge skill building. Both webquests and
lesson plans may be used with ongoing curricula and utilize current New York State learning standards.
WHAT IS A WEBQUEST?
Webquests are web based scavenger hunts for new information. By using the provided links to trusted websites for
research, students are able to focus on the material rather than use up time looking for it. Students will be able to
apply what they have learned to individual and group exercises designed to enhance their learning experience and
build new skills.
