Section 1: Why did we pick Alternative Energy?

 * Luke and I were interseted in this project because we thought that it would be a really good way to get people to use alternative energy. We also liked the idea of our world becoming more advanced. These ways could help us by discovering new things and also helping the Earth's environment.
 * Some questions that we were interested in learning about:
 * How could we help the world by using alternative energy?
 * What types of alternative energy are there?

Section 2: What steps did we take?

 * The steps that Gabby and I took in the research process were actually quite simple. We basically picked a topic that we enjoyed from the list that we were given. We obviously chose Alternative Energy because we thought it would be a good topic to learn about. We already knew some things about this topic, so we were already off to a good start. We looked at a variety of web sites including [|YouTube] for videos. After that, we put all of our information onto the Wiki, and added a short, simple quiz to go along with it. Then we completed this research process, and here we are now!
 * Over the course of our research, we didn't encounter many problems. However, there were a few having to deal with image quality and which information was true and which was false. In order to resolve these problems, we had to know that Internet Explorer was best for images, while Firefox was best for videos.
 * There were a lot of people who gave us good advice to our page (thanks for the "too many linkies!" note, swimmerqueen95) and we carefully fixed that. Although there was nobody who gave us information or images on Alternative Energy, we really enjoyed that everyone liked the layout of our page.

Section 3: What were our major findings?

 * The three major findings that we found were

Section 4: What were the most important things that we learned?

 * The most important things that we learned while researching this topic would probably have to be that if everyone puts in just a little bit of effort, it can have a global effect. For example, recycling has a much bigger effect than you think. On average, about half of America's recyclable material is actually recycled. Burning plastic gives off toxic fumes, which slowly destroy the ozone layer. If //everyone// could recycle their plastics, it could potentially put an end to global warming.
