Travel the world, searching for fossils and previous
signs of dinosaur life. This could be used by students
independently or the pictorial material of rock formations
could be a useful resource for teachers.

This interactive feature enables students to learn about
dinosaurs, fossils, rock types and the history of the earth
through playing the game and exploring its different sections.
It links with several different areas of the curriculum, not
just in science. Such resources can be effective with students
with special educational needs, encouraging them to learn
independently, whilst developing other important computing
skills. Much of the pictorial material could be used by a
teacher to support their lessons and as a focus for discussions.
This feature was produced by Simon Hensby. His Adders website
http://www.adders.org/
promotes awareness of Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder,
providing information and resources.
