G.10 Science: The Science of Spore
About a month back I posted a link to a game called Spore. Spore is an evolution simulation game where you start off as a cell and develop your organism through 5 stages; cell, creature, tribe, civilization, and space. This article investigates some of the research done by its creator, Will Wright, and compares and contrasts the game spore with actual evolution. If you have tried the game, you should find this article an interesting read.

G.10 Science: Format for Awareness Article
The objective of the awareness articles are to connect course material to life outside the classroom. You are to collect articles from Internet (eg. Life on Mars?) or an educational video (eg. Half Man, Half Tree) or television segments that are related in some way to Science.
This is an opportunity for you to explore and learn about what truly interests you. You are not restricted to any specific topic, however the article must be related to Science in some manner.
Rules
1. Article can not be more than 5 years old.
2. Article must be a minimum of one page.
3. Summary must be between 50 to 100 words (~5 to 7 sentences).
Procedure
1. Find an article or video on the internet.
2. Find the Awareness Article that is due, click on the # comments and begin writing your summary.
3. Write the title of the article or video at the top.
4. Followed by the author/producer of the article/video.
5. Summarize the article/video in 50 to 100 sentences (~5 to 7 sentences).
6. Minimum 2 links to articles related to the topic you have just summarized.
7. Complete by adding your first name only.
Important Note
These articles will be posted on the internet and can be viewed by everyone (including your parents) so it is important that you do a good job and take pride in your work. My suggestion is to do a quick rough draft prior to completing the post.
Second, plagiarism is a serious offence and it is dishonest to steal others' intellectual material. Remember, the original author may view it.
You can see an example of a completed awareness if you click on the G.10 Science: Format for Awareness Article link on the left side of the blog.
