Visitors to this educational web site will learn about rocks and minerals. They will enter the Global Museum and take a tour of different rooms containing pictures and information about types of rocks, crystals, minerals, gems, birthstones, metals, meteorites, and volcanoes. They also will learn about the history of the Earth and about plate tectonics. In addition to these rooms there is a literature room where visitors can learn about fantasy books that use gems as a symbol of magic. There are many hands-on areas in the museum too: a game room with interactive games, a crystal garden where visitors can do a science experiment, and a scout workshop. At the scout workshop, boy and girl scouts can work on geology merit badge requirements. We would like visitors to learn and have some fun.

The Yotvata Salt Flat, in the Arava desert, is located 30 km north of the Gulf of Eilat/Aqaba within the geologic province of the Syrian-African Rift. It is a level, salty, plant-free plain. Surrounding this sterile plain are microenvironments that depend on the nature of the soil and the rocks. A delicate balance exists between the soil, rocks, water, flora and fauna in this area. We are trying to map and analyze these microenvironments surrounding the salt flat and relate the natural landscape to human activity in the region. The web site contains other information including research papers by academics, aerial photographs, maps, and landscape photographs. Also included is a virtual field trip of the region. People interested in desert environments from around the world will find this site useful and informative.

In making this web site we wanted to help people learn about plants, bodies of water, rocks, and dinosaur fossils on our earth. Our completed web site is a place where visitors can learn about plants such as the Venus FlyTrap, Orchid, African Violet, and Sunflower. We also have included information about the different oceans. Pages about different types of rocks (metaphoric, sedimentary, and igneous) each have interactive links. There is a separate page with links about dinosaur fossils (herbivores and carnivores). We think that we have met the objectives that we planned and that many visitors will enjoy learning information and participating in the games on our site.
