WOMEN IN SCIENCE consists of six linked HyperCard stacks featuring
images and text honoring the contributions of 35 women in the field of
science. The stacks are the result of a project by Kensington Academy
seventh and eighth grade students. The students wrote the reports, found
the photographs of the scientists, created small drawings and paintings for
their cards, and finally, digitized their voices introducing the scientists.
Photographs and drawings were scanned in, color was added and the images were
added to cards in the stacks. Students were also responsible for the colors
used on the cards and the placement of the fields, images, and buttons. Each
card is a unique visual treat. The six stacks are quite large (around 1 meg
each), I would recommend getting the first stack wis.1of6.sit.hqx and trying
it out.
