History of life on Earth

The history of life on Earth is very long (approximately 3.5 billion years). And during all these years, the Earth turned into a snowball and thawed back, meteorites fell, and fantastic-looking creatures appeared and disappeared. Your whole life is not enough to study in detail how everything happened. But we will not do this now. Let's try just the opposite - to grasp the big picture.
In front of you is a natural history - from the moment of origin to the present day, in 15 illustrations.
Enjoy your dive!

Keys to wild plants of temperate broadleaf and mixed forests

It will allow you to identify the most common plants. The identifier's keys are the simplest and most understandable ones that do not require special knowledge of botany.

Kaleidoscope of butterfly wings
Butterflies are very diverse - they have over 150,000 species. To learn about the common butterflies that we see on the street or in butterfly gardens, let's play kaleidoscope. We will use the wings of real butterflies instead of stones.
 


Where do microorganisms live?

To look at microorganisms through a microscope, you must first find them. Since you can't see them with your eyes, you have to think carefully. Start the program and try to resettle bacteria and other microorganisms in suitable places as quickly and without errors as possible.
 

Animals from different biomes

Our Earth is a big planet. If you walk along with it on foot without stopping for food and sleep, moreover, at the same speed both on water and in the mountains, it would take almost a year. And if you sleep and go around it - even longer. On the other hand, if you also stare around, you can see how polar snows are replaced by tundra, tundra-taiga, and taiga-mixed forests. And they are replaced by warm subtropical and then tropical forests. And where there is little water, a savannah, steppe, or even a desert appears.
We probably won't go on such an extreme trip. But we will be able to look at all these natural zones.
 
No one can see microbes with the naked eye - but they are everywhere. They surround us, waiting for the moment to attack us. But how can we defeat the visible enemy? The game "Caution, microbes" will show you up!
