Overall, Particle Adventure is an innovative and focused site, taking a close look at Particle Physics and serving as a wonderful educational resource for those interested in that aspect of physics. The interactivity sprinkled through the site makes browsing it an enjoyable experience.
The site covers these categories: Advanced Topics, Atomic Theory, Electrodynamics, Electrostatics, Forces, Gravity, Quantum Mechanics, Subatomic Physics.
Content: 30/30
In depth, specific and educational, the content at Particle Adventure concentrates primarily on one area: Particle Physics. One thing that makes this site stand out is that it doesn't plunge into deep technical discussions, but rather provides a gradient that visitors can scale as they acquire more knowledge. The topics discussed ranged across Quarks, Antimatter, Particle Accelerators, String Theory, Gravity and many other topics relating to Particle Physics.
Aesthetics: 14/15
Simple, clean, and efficient this site's aesthetics are only marred because it uses frames in some of its content areas. The site is fast loading and cleanly-designed, enabling visitors to quickly get to the content that interests them or to step through the well-laid out Particle Adventure (from which the site gets its name). The graphics used within the text enhance its value and at times provide some comic relief.
Organization: 13/15
Though it uses frames in places, the site is fairly easy to navigate. A site map and contextual guides make for easy orientation and navigation.
Interactivity: 17/20
In addition to quizzes sprinkled through the text, the site has small questions with popup JavaScript answers. An example: "What is the nearest particle accelerator?" "The computer monitor right in front of you." These enhance and enliven the visitor's experience.
Community: 0/20
The site does not provide any means for a community.
