FA16-Project 19

Hi my name is Shanaya Smith. This week I chose to play the game Nova’s Evolution Lab.  The objective of the game was to enhance the player’s cognitive skills and teach about the evolution of species. The game was designed as a puzzle. Overall it made me think about how species are related and what different species have in common. The game design was a puzzle. Learning to find the similarities between the species can be a difficult task as you progress in the game. I could only pass level four. IF THE TOPIC THE TOPIC OF EVOLUTION OR SCIENCE DOESN’T INTEREST YOU THEN YOU MIGHT NOT WANT TO PLAY.

The game can be found by clicking on this link http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/labs/lab/evolution/research#/evo/buildatree/1
