Spore


Spore is the highly anticipated release from video game maker EA. In the game you can nurture a creature through the 5 stages of evolution. From an educational perspective I am more interested in the Creature Creator. You can design your own creature from scratch. You can have students accurately create an animal they learn about in Science class. I teach proportions by looking at the long necks or short arms of dinosaurs, why not have my students create creatures with a arm to body proportion of 10:3.
