____ Grading Period - Research Assignment
Due _______ 

   You will research a person who made an important contribution to physics and will submit a report in web page format.  You may use graphics, but at least 500 words of content are required.  Everything should be on one web page (though it might print out to more than one printed page).  You can have a 'Links' section, which includes your sources (clearly marked).  If you don't have a links section, or you use non-internet resources, your sources must be listed at the bottom of the page.

LINKS:      • Front Page Express Download [1.5 MB]       • FP Express Tutorial
Instructions for installing Front Page Express:
   When clicking the link above, you should have a 'Save As' window opened.  Remember where the file (fpx.exe) was saved.  After it has downloaded, go to that location and double-click on that file.  It will self-extract 26 files.  Remember where those files are extracted.  Go to that location (which should have 3 sub-folders).  Open the folder named 'Bin'.  Then double-click on the file 'Fpxpress.exe' and the program will open.  You might want to create a shortcut on your desktop to make it easier to start the program.
