Aquasition

1999
Our entry is about water, a very simple substance that we see, we use and we need for every single day. Through interactive animations and a story-based background, we will bring our visitors to tour the world of water, in which explanations on certain aspects of water are included. We will lead our visitors to take a look at the water flow on the earth surface and how the water cycle enables a stable supply of water for our uses. Also, visitors will have a chance to understand the unique structure and the special properties of water, and also the biological significance of water in all living things. Detailed looks of the important roles played by water in living things will be illustrated by the examples of water in humans and flowering plants. Electricity from water -- the hydroelectricity, will also be briefly introduced and explained. Some fun statistics and facts about water will also be included in our entry to enhance more interest. A multiple-choice quiz will be provided in the form of a game, so as to test visitors' understandings on our entry. A guest book is also provided to encourage feedback and hence the improvement of the entry.
