This website was created in January 1998 for the ThinkQuest Junior program. The images found in this site were adapted and created by the students who worked on the "Plants and Our Environment" site. We became frustrated when we were drawing some of the pictures. When we became frustrated, Mrs. Lipusch would draw a copy. Then we would look at that copy and it would be easier looking at the picture she drew than the book picture. What we looked at when we were drawing was a book or a picture Mrs. Lipusch drew. A few of the pictures we drew were hard and a few were easy. We used KidPix 1.2 for the creation and adaptation of all the graphics.
