Amusement Park Physics
"The color scheme here is a bit hard to read, but if you persevere, you’ll be rewarded with six science experiments to perform on amusement park rides, and two experiments for your local playground. Before embarking on this fun adventure, however, you will need a few tools: a stopwatch, and a vertical and horizontal accelerometer to measure acceleration. Luckily, simple instructions are provided on how to make your own accelerometers."

Amuse Me: Theme Park Physics
"This ThinkQuest 2000 entry was created by a team of middle-school students from Virginia Beach. At first I had some difficulty navigating the menu, until I realized I needed to point my mouse either directly above or below each menu title, and not directly on the menu item itself. Best sections are Rides (where you’ll learn a bit about the physics of seven different amusement park rides) and Other (which includes a Glossary and a page on the Applications of Physics.)"

Alex’s Paper Airplanes
"From Alex’s gallery of two dozen paper airplane designs, visitors have selected the Dragon Plane and Paper Helicopter as their favorites. The Dragon, an original design, flies "true and fast" and is "the best plane to hit your teacher with." The Helicopter is popular because it is both simple to make and simple to fly. You can peruse the rest of the planes by difficulty of construction (easy, medium, hard) or jump right to the fastest, longest flying, or most unusual designs."

Visit for the straight scoop on water fluoridation, tooth sealants, and gum disease (just to name of a few of the nine topics covered under Prevention) -- all done without a single animated toothbrush. You’ll also find important information on smoking ("You know it’s bad for your lungs and makes your hair and clothes smell, but wait until you see what it does for your teeth and gums.") and protecting your teeth during sports."
