Introduction to the Quicksilver Question Web Module 
The Quicksilver Question Web Module was created for use by teachers participating in the Integrated Environmental Health Middle School Project
(IEHMSP). The IEHMSP introduces middle school teachers and students in Washington State and New Mexico to the field of environmental health and facilitates
the teaching of environmental health topics across the middle school (grades 6-8) curriculum. The Quicksilver Question Web Module introduces students to the
connections between historic gold mining, mercury contamination, fish consumption and human health.The IEHMSP is funded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS Grant #ES10738 and #ES07033). What is a Web Module? A Web Module is an innovative, interactive computer based curriculum designed to introduce your students to an environmental health topic. The Module is available to download for free from the IEHMSP website. It can be used at anytime at any computer that meets the hardware, software and Internet compatibility requirements. The Module is also available in a CD format, by special request. See the Training Manual for technical information and helpful hints on using the Module. To begin your adventure, choose the STUDENTS tab. If you are associated with an IEHMSP teacher, choose the Student log in option. Otherwise, choose the Non-Student option. |
