I) Project Summary.  The goal of this project is to give some general insights into various areas dealing with electricity.
Why?  The web page was made to become a learning tool and the students that came up with the idea wanted to make the page to learn about electricity since both are going to college to become an engineer.

II) Project Planning Steps.  This project was developed with vary few guidelines and in the process of making the web page many ideas took place that were unaccounted for.  Those ideas became new pages and ideas for projects down the road.  As for actual planning steps, we started with a rough outline and just started a web page for the various ideas.  Some of the pages caught the attention of the students more and that is why they are longer than the rest.

III) Project Goals.
--Student Learning Objectives

1.   Students will use diagrams and formulas to make predictions about the flow of electricity in a circuit.
2.   Students will be able to define terms and concepts that are integral in understanding the process of electricity.
3.   Students will perform experiments to help solidify concepts they have learned about electricity.
4.   Students will learn about the people in history that made valuable contributions in electricity.

--Specific Oregon Benchmark.
Using diagrams and formulas to show how the flow of electricity behaves in different types of circuits.

--How were they assessed?

This project did not use any tools to assess their knowledge concerning electricity.  It was designed as supplemental material to help students better understand the unit on electricity.
