The idea of the site is to reveal the ambiguous nature of wind. Although it’s still beyond human power to counteract wind-generated disasters, people can study their nature and try to predict them before they strike. A thorough knowledge of such disasters as well as timely measures can limit the extent of damage and prevent the loss of life.

Our Web-site is intended to help a person read their own utility meter and figure their own energy bills. In light of current energy demands and prices, we feel this is of importance. We have attempted to demonstrate how to read a electric and a gas meter. The current usage and costs can then be computed with a minium of effort. Hopefully, this will also lead to conservation of energy.

Our website deals with energy sources in South Africa.
South Africa is a developing country and only about half of South Africans have access to electricity. Millions of South Africans rely on energy sources such as cow dung, paraffin, coal, petrol and wood, some of which are highly dangerous. We explore alternative energy options such as solar energy,hydro energy,energy from the wind and nuclear energy. We also look at ways that the cost of electricity can be reduced. We then look at how people can live without electricity and at the role of coal-burning power stations in South Africa.

Wind: the invisible force is divided into three main-topics, Development, Hurricanes and Tornadoes. They are supported by the three topics Terms, Interactive and About. In the development section, the user will be informed by the plain way how wind works, how the different forces combined together make the wind that blows right now. In the hurricane section we'll dive furder in the theory of wind. You'll get there an explanation about how a hurricane works, using the forces you learned in the development section. Ofcourse, there are also some "fun"-topics with less educational information, but more interesting to read. The Tornado section is build the same way.

Alternative.energy is an interactive forum where students and teachers can come to learn about alternative energies. Energies of the present are becoming endangered and may no longer be able to provide us with the one thing we rely on so heavily, electricity. With new and improved technologies, energy production is becoming more efficient and environmentally friendly. The purpose of this site is to present these alternatives to students and teachers, and evaluate them on various criteria. This site has also been developed to allow the audience to take part in the search for the "best" energy source. A forum has been put into place so that students can give their opinions. Also there has been an interactive quiz designed to encourage the learning of these alternatives. "Bad Acid", a cartoon character, has been added to the site to provide interactive and entertaining tours of the web site and its content. These tours equal twenty minutes of animated learning.

In science, there are lots of topics. But finally, we choose " energy" as our topic. As you know, energy is very important to us. We cannot live without energy . So, in our web, we want to give people some basic ideas of energy and tell them why does energy so important in order to encourage them to cherish energy.
Our entry is divided into several parts, They are lessons, quiz, game, dictionary, guestbook and message bar. Lessons are the main place for learning. There are some questions in the lessons which encourage people to think in order to just read through the text. Quiz is used to test people how well they understand. And game, of course is a place for relaxed. Dictionary is a very useful tool. When people have words which they don't understand, they could go to dictionary and check it. Last but not least, that is the guestbook and message bar. People are welcome to put their valuable opinion there.

Our website basically investigates 'Free Energy'. We probe into the feasibilty of perpetual motion machines and over-unity machines. We also investigate Cold fusion, a subject which has been under scrutiny for years.Cold fusion has been hailed as the energy source of the future, whilst at the same time criticised heavily by members of the science community who claim it is mere fiction. We find out why it is so and draw a conclusion. We hope to enable the surfers on our site to learn about the laws of thermodynamics in a fun and interactive way.

Our entry aims at letting our visitors learn more about radioactivity and develop interest in this topic. We allow our visitors to read the information in any order they like so quick accessibility to each individual section is always one of our concerns. We also include a glossary to help our visitors learn in a sweatless way. In our entry, we talk about the discovery and development of some important ideas as well as the experiments leading to the conclusions. To further our visitors' understanding of the topic, we go on to talk about the three types of radiation- alpha, beta and gamma. Their nature, ionizing ability, penetrating power, deflection in magnetic field, speed and range in air are discussed. Besides presenting the scientific concepts in words, we also include descriptions of a series of practical experiments with photos, diagrams, animations and videos. The summary table at the end helps to list out the main points. Other topics include radioactive decay, half-life of nuclides, background radiation. In order to make our knowledge "alive", we talk about a wide range of applications of radioactivity in our daily life, from medicine, archaeology, industry, military to agriculture etc. We include Einstein's theory of relativity to explain the nuclear energy coming from nuclear fusion and nuclear fission. The possible hazards brought about by the radioactivity technology are also discussed. Our visitors can express their opinions on any related issues, including new findings, comments on our site etc. on our message board. Last but not least, we have an interactive section with quiz and game for our visitors to enjoy and to learn.

The educational objectives were multi-faceted and multidimensional for the team members. Many skills were utilized within the parameters of constructing the project and the hands-on approach gave the students invaluable experience in producing and completing the final project. The educational objectives would also span many skill levels in reading and writing. This type of project also builds socio-emotional maturity because of an individual's personal commitment to the team.
For students viewing the entry the educational objectives would include the following:
1) gain a better understanding of the different types of energy used in the world today
2) develop an awareness of possible pollutants and some solutions in the use and production of energy
3) understand what countries are major producers of certain types of energy
4) enhance an understanding of energy through activities, self-checks, and puzzles
