Days 1 - 2 - Image Maps

You should create an Image Maps where you can click on a part of a picture and then go to an Internet site or one of your pages Click Here to see lesson.


Days 3- 4 - Floating Divs

Many times when we set up a page , we use floating Divs instead of tables to place things where we want them. For the front page of the Science Fair Project, which is coming next, we are going to use floating Divs instead of a table to position things on our front page.

Go here to see how the floating Divs are going to work.

After you have created and used an external stylesheet, we are going to do a couple of pages that have CSS Layouts created automatically for us online. Go here to see how we can float the Divs around for our Science Fair Page.


Days 3 - 6 - The Science Fair Project

(this project can take extra time if it is to be expanded into a project that is going to be entered into the City Wide Science Fair)

You are to design a Science Fair project in HTML. It should teach about a scientific process. You can have, for example, an online experiment that takes the person watching your program through different screens.

You should use animated gifs and have a bibliography. For the real science fair you may want to have actual working models to accompany your computer presentation.

Some ideas.

• A Periodic Table that when you click on an element it goes to information about it
• An experiment where each screen depicts a different stage of the experiment
• A exploration of the human heart (or brain or etc.) You can show actual pictures and video. You can have a page where you click on a part and it tells you about it.
• You can have a survey or study with results. Example, does caffeine help? Survey honor roll students. Or does extra sleep help. Or does time playing games on computer hurt?
• You can do an experiment with plants with different soil content and take pictures and put them on your HTML page.

Days 7 - 8 - Lists

• Make a Quiz of 10 questions but use Ordered lists to number and print the letters for your selections. Go to this page here and look at how to use lists. Look down the bottom and you will see about nesting lists.
• We want to have our page look like
  1. Who was first president?
     1. Jefferson
     2. Adams
     3. Clinton
     4. Lincoln
  2. Who was second president?
     1. Jefferson
     2. Adams
     3. Clinton
     4. Lincoln
  
  
  The code will look like :
  
  <ol>
  <li>
  Who was first president?
  <ol type = a>
  <li>Jefferson
  <li>Adams
  < li>Clinton
  <li>Lincoln
  </ol>
  <li>
  Who was second president?
  <ol type = a>
  <li>Jefferson
  <li>Adams
  <li>Clinton
  <li>Lincoln
  </ol>
  </ol>
  
  
• The code you create will not work. It will not be "clickable." We are doing it to just learn about Lists. You can use a div and a background and decorate your page
