Help for the Beginning level

Thanks for visiting! Here are some things you should know.

This is Dammy. He'll be showing you around the site.

If you click on the Cracking Dams logo at the top left of the page, it will take you back to the main page of Cracking Dams.

Clicking on the SimScience logo at the bottom of any page will return you to the main SimScience page.

There is a side menu at the lefthand side of every page; clicking on any of these choices will take you to the beginning of that section.

There are forward and back buttons at the bottom of each page. These buttons will take you to the pages before and after your current page in their sequence. If you hold the cursor over a button, a tag will pop up to tell you where the button will take you. And remember, if you're jumping around, the back button may not take you to the page you were previously on.

One of the choices in the menu is a Site Index. Clicking on this choice will take you to an index of all the pages in the Beginning level and you can move to another page by clinking on one of the links there.

Glossary words will be followed by (*). To see the glossary definition of the word, click on it and another window will open up with the definition.

When you see Dammy at his computer using his mouse, that means you should use your mouse to change the picture. Place your mouse on the colored words nearby and the picture will change to help you understand the words.
When you see Dammy with his video camera, that means there is a movie for you to watch. There will be a play button nearby, like the one below, which you should click to watch the movie. Some movies are just animations; everyone should be able to see these.

Some movies are Quicktime movies, which require a Quicktime plug-in for your browser. Your browser might prompt you to go get the plug-in if you don't have it. Otherwise, click here (#) to get the plug-in (the # means that's a link off this site). If your browser already has the plug-in, it will play the movie automatically.
Have fun!
