Exploring Earth Simulation Features

The video tutorial guides students through using a computer simulation to learn about Earth's features. It begins with an introduction to the simulation, followed by detailed instructions on accessing and logging into the platform. The tutorial then explores various features and settings within the simulation, such as changing sea levels and adding organisms. Students are encouraged to interact with the simulation, explore its elements, and reflect on their observations. The video concludes with a task for students to explore the simulation independently and note any interesting findings.
