Research Creatures is an upcoming interactive experience where you learn how scientific research works by conducting experiments on virtual organisms. Design studies, collect data, interpret results, and share your findings with other researchers.
The Research Loop
Step 1
Choose a Creature
Select from various species, each with unique traits and behaviors to investigate.
Step 2
Design Your Study
Identify variables, set up controls, and determine your sample size.
Step 3
Run Experiments
Conduct trials and collect data from your virtual subjects.
Step 4
Analyze Results
Visualize your data and identify patterns and trends.
Step 5
Communicate Findings
Write up your results in a publication-style summary.
Step 6
Scientific Discourse
Other researchers can comment, replicate, or challenge your conclusions.
Learning Goals
- Understand experimental design principles
- Practice identifying and controlling variables
- Develop data interpretation skills
- Learn to communicate scientific findings
- Experience peer review and scientific discourse
Development Status
Research Creatures is currently in development. We are designing creature species, building the experiment simulation system, and creating the publication platform. Check back for updates on our progress.
