“Cosmo Priestman, Ourania Fizgig and ScubaChris Wollongong take us through The History of Earth & Life on Earth Exhibit, created as part of a non-major undergraduate intro-astrobiology course, Exploring Life in the Universe. Students in the ASTR202 (spring 2007) class helped to design and build a scale model installation work on the timeline of Earth, 4.6 billion years ago to the present. Embedded in this timeline are important landmark events in planet formation, geology, biology, and anthropology.”
This was a great installation, with some great simulations. The walk through the spiral, the distance between each exhibit, simulated the time between each development. There were plenty of sims and 3D models within the installation, such as meteors, rain and organisms. A great example of what students can do in SL. Building simulations is one way students learn about the phenomena the sim models. Search this region in the Search LivingintheUniverse (30, 190, 251).
