This web site will demonstrate the different kinds of alternative energy sources, and the science behind them. From taming the thermal energy at the core of the Earth, to capturing the immense power of the sun, alternative energy takes from the environment around it, while leaving a minimal footprint.
About this site
2001
On a daily basis electric energy is used – even as you are viewing this website now. However, not many of us are aware of the severe consequences of indiscriminate electricity use and exploitation. Hence, it is necessary to educate and increase awareness of the dire consequences arising from the indiscriminate use of electricity such as direct and indirect environmental issues. In view of this, our website's principal objective is to develop or promote a world culture on proper electricity use from kids to adults, by elucidating with multimedia examples and clear explanations, the environmental consequences of its abuse. Furthermore, realistic solutions that can be practiced by any person will also be presented… all of these being made, thanks to Internet and ThinkQuest.

We all use electricity 24 hours a day, but most children have no idea what it really is. The Shocking Truth About Electricity was created in order to teach upper elementary school children about the history of electricity, the science behind it, the ways in which our civilization uses it, and major issues surrounding its use. Throughout the site, interactive elements allow for an international sharing of ideas and hands-on experiences to enhance learning.

About this site
2000
Our site is all about electricity, how we use it, different kinds of circuits, how electricity can be dangerous, and some information on lightning. There is a quiz and a lot of other cool things. There is a page about all of us, and a page about three people who helped discover electricity. We hope you enjoyr our website, and especially our main page.

Our entry is about the unexposed things about copper.For instance most people do not know where electricity comes from.So we want to educate them so they know what goes on behind the processing of copper.
About this site
1999
The site is to teach other elementary students where the electricity we use everyday comes from. Electricity is very important to us, yet few students know anything about where it comes from.
About this site
1999
This web page is about electricity and magnetism and the relationship between them.
Our team has included information on the general knowledge, facts and properties about them.
About this site
1999
We will be telling how electricity works and also what it is used for. We will talk about who discovered and experimented with it. We will include an electric experiment too. We will also include a bibliography and an about the author page.
About this site
1999
Our team will research the history of electricity and how it can be used to make our lives better. We will show how to create a flashlight using only a battery, bulb, bell wire, index card, brass fastener, paper clip, and tape. Users of our website will be able to find out all about electricity. We will include a title page with links to a fact page, graphics page, bibliography, and author page.
About this site
1999
Light! is a reference website devoted to the physics of light. Topics include the speed of light, wavelengths, mirrors, lenses, diffraction, lasers, refractions, reflections, solar power, and a history on the study of light. Each section is complete with a quiz that can be used to test one's knowledge or to review abilities. Light! is written in both English and Polish. The educational objectives of Light! is to serve as a research guide and self-teacher to students interested in light.
About this site
1999
Our entry's topic is Semiconductor. In our page, we have discussed the nature of intrinsic and extrinsic semiconductors and their ways of conducting electricity. Based on this fundamental information, we further introduce various types of electronic components e.g. Thermistor, junction diode, LED, LDR, transistor etc., together with their working principles and their usefulness in modern technology. In addition, we lead the users to explore the essence of this advanced world, i.e. the logic gates. With different inputs and different combinations of these gates, the users will know the outputs of the logic circuit.
By introducing the principles of semiconductors, we hope to give users a clearer and better understanding of the miracles behind the wonderful advanced world.
About this site
1999
Our page was designed to teach students how electricity is produced. We also wanted to include safety tips and activities for students to complete. We have several actual pictures of a power plant in our hometown.
About this site
1999
Our web site is about relativity, quantum mechanics, and the incompatibilities between them which may be resolved using string theory. String theory is based on the idea that the fundamental particles of the universe are really infinitely thin, vibrating one-dimensional strings. We also include information about the view of the universe using string theory, including the stages of the universe from the big bang to its death.
Our hope is that visitors to our site will be able to further their understanding of our topic with the help of 3D graphics and animations. If they have questions, they can post them on our message board to be answered by us or other visitors. They can also debate about physicists' speculations concerning black holes, parallel universes, and other dimensions. Visitors can make comments in our guestbook and see who else has visited our site.
About this site
1999
Our homepage contains informations about the different forms of production of current and the different kinds of power plants. Furthermore, we tell the whole history of elecricity. (That means how and by whom energy/electricity was invented). Thirdly, we describe the Y2K problem and what could be done to avoid it. To end, we say something about the future and how it will be.
We have added a guestbook, a sitemap, a feedback and a discussion board, where our visitors can communicate with each other.
