This site aims to educate others on how science and technology has enabled Man to be able to replace parts of his body, when they fail. It covers most well-known topics such as cloning of body parts, or the use of artificial organs to keep people alive.
It's main intended audience are teenagers, and hence the ibformal style of presentation. However, to cater to the general population, the writing style is easy to read, yet comprehensive.
It is hoped that extensive coverage of the topic would enable others to understand the topic rather completely.

What is cloning? The main objective was to teach the students web development skills and how to present a topic using Internet/intranet technologies. The topic was picked by the students.
About this site
1999
Our web page is on DNA because we are interested in medical sciences. As sixth grade students we picked something we know little about. Both of our mothers were studying to become nurses and we became interested. Cloning and identification using DNA have become current issues, and students are becoming aware of DNA research and its far-reaching effects in creating a new age of DNA manipulation. Teachers are able to access more information about DNA through our web links. Students need to be aware of what DNA is and how it can be used. To make people aware of DNA so they can form an opinion about the use of DNA manipulation in our future.
About this site

Our website examines the negative, as well as the positive, effects of technology on society: not simply obviously destructive technologies such as weaponry, but also more subversive ones such as television, the Internet, automobiles, and so on. Modern consumerism, capitalism, militarism, and so on are thoroughly deconstructed and analyzed. It is our hope that this website will educate students who have as yet been blind to the evils that otherwise positive technologies can produce. A larger issue is at stake here as well: the issue of "progress". Is progress always a good thing? Society is geared towards constant change and progress (technology, of course, being a clear microcosm of this tendency) - perhaps it would be wise to step back for a few moments and examine other options. Essays, links, informational pages, and discussion boards form a major part of this site. We believe this topic forms the basis of a goal worthy of the TQ contest.

About this site
1999
Genetic engineering, and the publics' understanding of it, is a very important topic, and one that may very well change certian aspects of life as we know it. We understood the importance of this subject, and wanted everyone to know about the dangers of genetic engineering and the benefits of organic foods. It is only fair to the general public that they know about genetic engineering, and are able to voice their opinions. A huge jump in biotechnology is taking place, and almost half of the US population doesn't even know what's happening. We felt that it was important to help everyone learn about what is going on, how it effects them, and what they can do so that they feel comfortable with the future of the food we eat. Like us, many people do not want to see GE giants, like Monsanto, controlling the agricultural industry, and we want to show them how to stop that from happening. Our site was created to give its readers all the information they need to fully understand genetic engineering - how it's used, the dangers, and what they can do if they wish to help stop it. We also inform them on how to avoid GE foods, including buying organic foods, or growing their own organic garden

Genome. Being an unnoticed and unknown existence to most people in the world, it is actually the most crucial and dominant peces of design ever created in the world: a design that constructs the basis of all living things. Without them, any living creature, including us human beings would not be able to exist.
Our team will answer to the question, gwhat is genome?h from numerous angles. We will explain carefully and in detail, the whats, whys and hows of genomes and its analyzing. For example, its relation with plants and animals, the process and purpose of analyzing genomes, and genomes of creatures that have already been analyzed. We will use 3D animation, VRML, and graphics for effective study, and also a genome analyzing simulation for students to check their level of understanding.
When understanding everything of our page, one will become one scientist.

The site we have devellopped is about genetic.
It explained what is this science which is very young.
We have built the site as clear as could so that everybody can easily consult it.
We thus give the bases which are needed to understand the importance of genetic applications; what is DNA, a gene? How an individual's growth is controlled by its gene pool? What define an organism, what ensure its uniqueness? What cause genetic diseases and how researchers try to prevent it from occuring ?
Further more, this site is also an overview of the possible applications of genetic. Indeed judges resort more and more to genetic to carry out their investigation but not not solely them. Scientist could prevent endangeried species from disappearing by mean of genetic; they could "produce" new animals from a single one.
Food industry also turn to genetic to improve their product; to give them new characteristics.
