Have you ever noticed that you are better at doing some things than others? You might be good at sports, or maybe you sing a little. We are all smart in different ways because we have different brains. |

In this WebQuest you will study the Multiple Intelligences Theory, discover your own multiple intelligences, and visit websites that target your best intelligences and evaluate them. |
