CH4 Quiz Part 1
CH4 Quiz Part 2
Note:
Animations should avoid use of bears, ketchup, salsa, tabasco, or other red colored food items.
Search MS Office clip art for "alternative energies car " for the image.
You may use different text or different images.
Bonus points for a second button that moves the cloud and allows the car to continue.
At the beginning include one sentence on why one should use animation on a web site. (See CH4 Intro for more information. And by 'see CH4 Intro' I mean actually read the CH4 Intro. It's amazing what you find out when you actually read. Really.)
