Extractions: Published on March 2nd, 2001 "Nature software" may seem like an oxymoron. However, children can learn a lot about nature from the comfort of their computer chairs. The computer allows children to get up-close and personal with animals they would not otherwise be able to see. It enables children to learn about habitats that are far away from where they live. With a computer, children can even create their own ecosystem and experiment with how interrelationships work. Here's a closer look at three software titles that offer children fun ways to learn about nature. Seven of these activities explore worthwhile exploits like following directions to find fruit, playing memory and logic games, matching baby animals with their parents, and participating in creative art and craft activities. The other four activities are pure arcade. Unfortunately, Zoboomafoo suffers from a rigid interface that presents the 11 games at specific intervals and does not allow the child control over the play. It is also difficult to switch between the three difficulty levels offered in these activities.
