Describe Your Game

Well for my game the background will be in a forest t here will be many trees and plants there will be decoy objects too like animals and stuff that do not belong in the scene .My game scene will be plain and boring like my topic so that's pretty much it for that matter .There will be a timer you will only have about 30 seconds to find all the hidden object .

My hidden objects are going to be related to what  my topic which is fossils records I will have different kinds of fossils in the scene like mold fossils (a fossilized impression made in the substrate - a negative image of the organism) also cast fossils (formed when a mold is filled in) and trace fossils  (fossilized nests, gastroliths, burrows, footprints, etc. )  true form fossils (fossils of the actual animal or animal part).The colors in my game will be dull and dark .

Fact 1:

Fossils  are the preserved remains or traces of animals , plants, and other organisms from the remote past.

Fact 2:

A fossil is a rare thing. Most organisms decay and disappear quickly after dying.

Fact 3:

Fossils show us a great deal about earlier life forms.  Not only can we learn about evolutionary processes and trends, but we can also reconstruct body shapes.

Fact 4:

Several wool mammoths that lived during the last ice age have been excavated from frozen tundra soil in Siberia.  Some were still in such good condition, that parts of their bodies were fed to the dogs of the Russian scientists who found them.

Fact 5:

Amber is a fossilized resin that originally oozed from cone bearing trees, such as pines and firs, millions of years ago.

Describe what kind of objects you could hide for this game:

You could hide different kind of fossils there will be trees and plants .I will also have    amber ,amber is a kind of fossil/mineral.I will have minerals animals thats pretty much it .

Describe what you game scene might look like

My game will be in a Rainforest there will be many trees  and plants.

Endanger species

The golden-cheeked warbler is a small bird.The last major tract of nesting habitat for the endangered golden-cheeked warbler located in Ft. Hood, Texas. The golden cheeked warbler have a highly restricted breeding range and the habitat loss also fragmentation due to urbanization and clearing reduces the areas where this bird can raise their young ones.Warblers eat insects and spiders found on the leaves and bark of oaks and other trees.They use long strips of cedar bark and spider webs to build their nests. They come to Texas in March to nest and raise their young, and leave in July to spend the winter in Mexico and Central America. Females lay 3-4 eggs during nesting season.

An endanger plant in Texas is the Black Lace Cactus  ,The outer spines of the black lace cactus are straight and white with dark purple tips also in the springtime, the black lace cactus produces pink to purple flowers, 2 - 3 inches wide. It blooms from April to June, producing fruits after the blooms fall off. As the small, spiny, green fruits ripen, the seeds fall or are washed to the ground by the rain.Bees and wasps help the black lace cactus reproduce by spreading pollen from plant to plant.  The black lace cactus is endangered because its habitat has been cleared or planted to crops.

One way of the ways you can  help threatened plants and animals survive is to protect their habitats permanently in national parks, nature reserves or wilderness areas. There they can live without too much interference from humans. It is also important to protect habitats outside reserves such as on farms and along roadsides too.
