Team Collaboration
All of the team members are individuals with a shared interest in Physics. This common interest and knowledge was used to divide the creation of the site pages. For example, one member who specializes in forces worked on Newton's Laws while another person worked on the page about motion. While they are doing this, another member is working on the quizzes for those topics and another is looking for links to related sites. This was all planned beforehand and synchronized for efficiency. This ensured that members are working on their strengths and are able to provide the best help.
Also, by keeping in contact through e-mail, text messaging, and phone, the members enjoyed uninterrupted communication and allowed them to contribute and discuss ideas without needinbg to meet in person.
Team Diversity
The team is composed of students from the capital region of the Philippines. While our geographic location is generally located in one area, our sources are scattered around the globe. We have sources from top universities in the States, Europe, and Asia. This showed us that while cultures may be different, there is an agreement when it comes to scientific theory, specially in Physics. We encountered absolutely no clashes with religions, and asides from Einsteins relativity messing around with the Laws of Newton, almost no contradiction when it comes to principles. This showed us that no matter what a person believed in, in this era, they won't deny that they are able to stay on the ground because of gravity, and that light in both a particle and a wave, and doesn't travel through aether. Basically, no matter if a country is small or large, third world or first world, Catholic or Protestant or Buddhist or non-religious, the same laws of Physics hole true, and we found that it is a constant thing that changes only with new discoveries, and not the change of economies. It is true that Physics may change a nation, take the development of the atom bomb as an example, but a nation cannot change Physics, it takes a miracle to do that.
