Scavenger hunts and webquests

I appreciate the use of both curricular tools at different times for different purposes. Scavenger hunts might be good as part of a do-now activity, a "brain break" within direct instruction, or even an ongoing exit ticket. Webquests, meanwhile, seem like they could be adapted to fit a long-term project context in my lab. They could involve the kind of thematic research and design skills I already require in projects, or they could be more specific research projects on particular topics, or even complex task- and thought-based "scavenger hunts" themselves where the end result is a well thought out and independently designed work.
