What's Cooking?

This webquest will be used in the form of Problem/project based learning.  The steps are less defined in the process section because the students will be coming up with the steps they need to research in order to reach their goals.  I will act as their guide to keep them focused.  This study will touch on almost every standard for Nutrition and Foods class.
