THE SECRETS Op Science Islapd % ° # There's an exciting computer adventure in store for you, and you'll be learning science facts too! You've been shipwrecked on the magical Science Island, and an emergency radio weather bulletin says the hurricane season is rapidly approaching. Your only hope is to build a shelter. Fast. Fortunately, you've brought along the fascinating book, Science Facts You Won't Believe, which is included in this package. It will come in handy for surviving on the island. There's a magical memcar parked on the beach, so you can drive around the island, collecting memstones to use in building your shelter as you answer interesting science questions. After completing your shelter, you'll move on to Level Two, where you'll face more challenging questions. Then to Level Three, where you'll explore Troll Forest, collecting more memstones to build a magnificent castle... if you can find the answers to even more advanced questions in the hidden mines. And watch out for those treacherous Troll Traps! The entire class or family will join in to outwit the terrible trolls and tackle these tantalizing science questions. Along the way, players will gain valuable skills in researching information in reference books, reading, interpreting diagrams, solving problems, and using computers. Players will be astonished to have their misconceptions shattered — the compass does not point to the North Pole, camel's humps do not contain water, and the moon does not have a dark side. You can leave the program at any time and return later to pick up where you left off, and up to 30 people can participate.
