One of the interesting features that would make it a good extension to the Landforms Module is the terrain-modifier. Before starting a simulation, students can change the landscape, adding or moving mountains, creating valleys, canyons, and more. The only problem with SimCity is that it's hard to stop playing. Widget Workshop Maxis. Turn your students into inventors.
Players design and construct their own experiments or inventions or solve puzzles.
Once built, kids can share self-running versions of their inventions with friends. The software package also includes additional items for inventing both on and off the computer, including a wooden top, thermometer, compass, magnifier, straws, and rubber bands. These objects can be used in innovative experiments that integrate concrete objects and computer imagery. An experiment book is also included. This page was last updated June 20, 1996.
