Back-up Information

When using any form of technology, especially the Internet, it is essential to have a back-up plan in case your technology fails on the day you plan to use it in class. Below is information and suggestions for how students could continue to work on this project in the event of an Internet connection problem. 

Mirror Site Information

A mirror site is basically an exact copy of this web site which is located on a different computer away from the Stevens campus. It acts as a back-up in case our computer server, network, or electrical power is down for any reason. 

You can access the Population Growth Project mirror site at the web site address below:

http://www.k12science2.org/curriculum/popgrowthproj/

If possible, print out this page to keep for future reference. As a minimum, write down the mirror site address in a place where you will have quick and easy access to it if need be. 

Activity Information

Many of the activities in this project can be done offline. You may want to make printouts of some of the lessons to have on hand in case your own Internet connection fails or is extremely slow. Also, some of the activities link to PDF documents that are available on the web. It is recommended that you print out a copy of some of these documents to have on hand in case your Internet connection fails.
