Together with aliens Missy and Egon, your child can take an Earth-wide field trip to discover different habitats, animals, plants, and weather.

Then the unit will say a word which starts with that letter and show you a corresponding picture. Click the icon or press the ESC button to exit and return to the Space Ship. 7 Photo Album Click on this icon to see a selection of snap shots showing Missy, Egon, and their friends. Markers Click on this icon to see a selection of pictures you can print out and color. Toolbox The toolbox is available in every environment. When the toolbox is open, certain on-screen objects will cause the cursor to turn into a camera. The camera will reveal pictures of real-life objects related to the object you clicked. For example, if you click on the scientific equipment in the Mad Lab you will see pictures of real-life items you might find in a lab. When you are done investigating the environment for camera items click on the toolbox again to return to normal game play. 8 DESCRIPTION OF ENVIRONMENTS Environment: Arctic Tundra When you first enter the Arctic Tundra, Missy and Egon will give you a brief introduction to the environment. After this you can move the arrow around the screen looking for objects to click. One of the objects is a window to this environment's science experiment. 9 This environment's experiment deals with density. Objects which are more dense than water will sink; objects which are less dense than water will float. Zinc the dog wants to get across the water to Missy and Egon, but there is no bridge. You must build a bridge for Zinc by selecting items which will float from the 8 objects displayed at the top of the screen. The SMART KEYSTM KEYBOARD unit's cursor pad - press the pad to have the cursor jump from one object to the next. The SMART KEYSTM KEYBOARD unit's alphabet keys - press the first letter of the object you would like to select. If two items begin with the same letter press the alphabet key again to reach the second object. Note: The name of the object the cursor is pointing at is displayed in the panel on the screen. If you select an object which is more dense than water it will sink, and a new item will appear at the top of the screen for selection. 10 You are allowed to experiment with the objects as much as you would like. But once 4 floating objects are chosen Zinc will automatically walk across the bridge. At this point you can continue to experiment with density, or click the yellow arrow in the lower left hand corner of the screen to return to the Tundra. Environment: Jungle 11 This environment deals with animals. You could be asked to match a tail with a body, a baby with its parent, a footprint with an animal, or a variety of other questions which all deal with animals. To match the objects just listen to the question then use the SMART KEYSTM KEYBOARD unit's cursor pad and the ENTER key or your mouse to click on the correct answer from the 4 options given. You can click the picture above Vicki's head to have the question repeated. After a set of questions Missy will decide it is time to return to the Jungle. [. . . ] You do not have to change your settings if you do not encounter problems such as "MCI Error: 264". 22 PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING THIS CD Avoid touching the surface of the CD to prevent fingerprints or scratches.
