Joyrides
"Joyrides is a photo gallery "celebrating the joy and beauty" of roller coasters and other amusement park rides. Organized by theme park (from Adventure World to Valleyfair), the photos give a good overview of the current state-of-the-coaster, from woodies to steelies. Each coaster photo is annotated ("A wooden coaster can’t perform the maneuvers that a steelie can, but its organic structure often provokes a more primal feeling of excitement.") and includes a link to the official theme park site."

Joseph Palmer’s Paper Airplanes
Reviewed March 24, 2001 by Joseph Palmer, a reader from San Jose CA, USA who is affiliated with the site. Video games are alright I suppose, but they can’t compare to the thrill of launching something you’ve made all by yourself into the wind, and watching as it’s still soaring long after the other kid’s planes have nosed into the dirt. None of those old fashioned schoolyard darts here, just step-by-step instructions and diagrams for making simple, high performance fliers.

Joseph Palmer’s Paper Airplane
"Joseph Palmer’s planes are "designed to fly," not look like real airplanes. As a paper airplane purist, none of his designs require cutting, taping or weights: just a single sheet of 8.5" by 11’ paper and your fingers. There are only four designs here, but the illustrated instructions are excellent, and judging by visitor feedback, all of them are great flyers."

Is Engineering For You?
""Engineers investigate the most basic problems facing humanity: food, clothing, shelter, transportation and communication. Engineers are team members who put abstract scientific discoveries into practical applications. Engineers are innovators who take a fresh look at science and technology in order to apply old knowledge to finding feasible solutions to new human problems." This single page online brochure for high school students presents college entrance requirements and choices in engineering disciplines."

IPPEX Online
"During a thunderstorm, clouds become negatively charged relative to the ground (or other clouds.) Since opposite charges attract, a lightning bolt will appear as charges are exchanged between the cloud and the ground. Presented for middle-schoolers in a fun, interactive format, this site was created by a team at Stevens Institute of Technology to ""demonstrate that the Internet can be used for science education and participation in ways that are not possible with a text book or a standalone computer."""

Internet Fairground
"Internet Fairground is another ThinkQuest entry (a 2000 silver-medal winner) created by three geographically disperse high-school students. It is a fun potpourri of amusement park tidbits, including the history of the Ferris wheel, roller coaster and carousel; ride reviews; and safety considerations. You’ll find high-school level physics and math lessons listed under Science, with a section on using the Lego programmable brick, and Interactive Math Problems (listed under the Physics Lab.) ""While screaming at the top of the first loop of a roller coaster, your gum falls out of your mouth. Which direction does it fall?"""
