Looking back at our research process, we can simply divide it into three stages. The first stage is from last June to last August. During this period, we mainly recruited appropriate team members and selecting the topic. It was a preparation period for our whole research process. The second stage is from last October to September. We busy collected and concluded data during this period. In addition, we had to upload our reports, learn how to operate digital equipments, do field investigation, and so on. The third stage is from last December to this January. We began to organize our webpage and getting the permission of quotation in our website. There were too much to say, so please just look at our research journal and you'll know.

       Teacher Hsu proposed this project and asked we five students who participated the science exhibition to work together again. Teacher Hsu also asked us to recruit some more members and do our best.

       We recruited members so we had three new members. Three members, director Wun, Hong Cun-Yi, Liang and Geng-Wei joined our team and our team totaled to nine.

7.15~7.30

       Teacher Hsu asked us to start searching on the Internet to make sure the range of our research content. Therefore, we searched on the Internet every morning for an hour according to the schedule we set and because Teacher Hsu had to work on his graduate school courses so director Wun instructed us on our research during this period.

8.1~8.30

     Cyber Fair’s registration time schedule was different from that last year. Given that we were not sure whether to register, plus Teacher Hsu had too much summer assignments to do, so this month Teacher Hsu told us to stop our work for the time being and enjoyed a happy summer vacation.

9.1~9.15

      After confirming the registration information, our team reorganized and director Wun invited our teacher in fourth grade, teacher Chen, to join us. Thus all the members were ready. We not only had to study lots of internet material, but also had to study History of Lukang Town, which is relevant to “no sky”.

9.15~10.3

       During this period, Teacher Hsu divided us into several groups. He asked us to work with our own group member, conclude the data we studied and write them down. Teacher Hsu told us that he found some more reference data from the library and asked us to study, and then write our conclusion. After we turned what we had in mind into words, teachers Syu discussed with us and made sure there are no mistakes. Teacher Hsu also said that at the beginning of next month, our principle will have a meeting with our members.
