Our web site "Blast Off to Space: Above and Beyond" is about space travel and space phenomena. It includes three sections: Past, Present, and Future. In the Past section, there is information about Animals in Space and a Timeline. The Present section includes information about the Space Shuttle, the Hubble Space Telescope and Black Holes, White Holes and Wormholes. The Future section has information about Future Missions, the Mars Colony mission, and the International Space Station. Our site also includes an Interview with an Astronaut and a fun Games page. We hope this web site will be informative to all people interested in the space program.

The major objectives of "Excuse Me, Do You Have The Time?" are for students to read to be informed, to demonstrate competency in using technological resources as tools to gain information, answer questions, or solve problems, to practice telling time, to provide an interactive experience in writing for personal expression, and to provide a research tool for learning about the history of telling time. The various facets of our web page deal with these objectives. Students may access a page about the history of time, go to a page where they select the correct time on a clock, read a story and select their own answer or enter a suggestion of their own, find out interesting facts about records that have been set related to time, or read a rhyme related to time.

Time is the element in which we exist. ... We are either borne along by it or drowned in it.
--Joyce Carol Oates, "Marya"
Time is one of the world's deepest mysteries. No one can say exactly what it is. Yet, the ability to measure time makes our way of life possible. Time and how we experience it have perplexed us. Physicists have concocted theories, but their time is measured by a wobbling pendulum or a vibrating atom and is not psychological time, which minces or leaps with little regard to the clock or calendar. As someone who understood the distinction observed, When you sit with a nice girl for two hours it seem like a minute, but when you are waiting for her to arrive, a minute seems like two hours.
Our entry aims to explore the various theories and ideas that man has had about time, from the scientifically bizarre to those concerning practical life, from the first clocks to the space-time continuum to the possibility of time travel, or why we remember things in the past rather than those in the future. Its basically a catalogue of ideas, facts and speculation. Theres nothing too technical here, so sit back, relax and enjoy. Will our site be good enough to win? Only time will tell
About this site

The theme of our website is "Time". We have chosen to look at the history of time measurement down through the ages from the earliest marking of the phases of the moon through to the development of mechanical clocks until the atomic clocks today. We have traced the development of the calendar and the influence different thinkers; theologians, emperors and kings have had on the way we calculate the passing time. We felt that "Time" offered many possibilities for an interactive section on our website; a databank about time - how we talk about time, the words, idioms, proverbs that colour our daily language. A chat-room to encourage exchange of thoughts about how browsers experience time. Our overall educational objective is to encourage browsers to think about "Time" how it affects and dominates their lives. How the concept of "Time" has developed over time and is still developing - there was time when the concept of a second was unknown, now "every second counts".

Our page is for young people who are looking for information about time, timekeeping, watches and Millennium.
Our pages have a lot of informations about measurement of time in the middle age and the modern time.
You find milestones in the measurement of time on the Olympic Games. We did some research about the timekeeping for swimming, athletics and cycling.
For classes you find a nice quiz with questions from sport and watches
For the small users there is a puzzle under games! Have fun!!
About this site

Our website explores the importance of the concept of time through history, literature, science, current events, and creative writing. Indeed, it is impossible to imagine a field that time does not touch. "Time Warp"invites wonderers to ponder a phenomenon that is usually taken for granted. Must time flow in a linear path? Why was the measurement of time so important to ancient civilizations? How does our perception of time influence the way we see the world? Will we really travel through time?
Visitors to our site will learn about time measurement from earliest time, clocks, ancient civilizations, different types of calendars, and scientific interpretations of time. They will begin to fathom Albert Einstein's theory of relativity and the bending of time when influenced by mass. Creativity will be challenged as students add to our list of time expressions and imagine where they would go, and what they would do, if they could travel through time. They will predict what will happen when Y2K becomes a reality. It is our hope that students will realize the potential latent in the mysteries of a universe that is incompletely understood. Perhaps their questions can lead to more understanding in the future.

The educational objectives of our entry are to inform people about time and clocks. We created a page that encourages people to get into creative writing (Once Upon a Time). Tick-Tock Tidbit informs people about the evolution of clocks. The purpose of our Virtual Time Capsule is to help students learn about many different communities and their customs and events.

Time is a difficult thing to define--yet it plays a role in almost everything we do. What time is it? Maybe you'll know after you've visited this site! Chronometers such as shadow clocks and sun dials are discussed. Time differences from areas near the equator to each hemisphere are considered along with calendars, clocks and watches. This site is in English and Dutch.

This site examines today's environmental and medical knowledge to try and predict the future. Looking at the environment, we learn about global warming and natural and alternative resources. Can studying the greenhouse effect point to possible future events such as droughts and floods, rising sea levels, and extreme weather? And finally, a look at medical science explores genetic engineering and microbial wars.
