I was sitting in my American History class one day and was chatting with my friends about what classes I had next semester. Coming February, I will be studying Biology, the study of life and living organisms including structure, growth, and habitat. This means I will also be studying botany (the study of plants) and zoology (the study of animals). So I got excited. I thought "Yay, I love this stuff, besides, I have a cool useful science site. Wait a minute . . . Whyville doesn't have any biology games or exercises!

I was right, all we have is the Getty Museum (art) and games that deal with physics and such. What happened to biology? I mean, aren't our fellow animals and organisms interesting enough to include them in such a fun and helpful site in the science world? It also occurred to me that this site barely contains anything dealing with chemistry!

According to this link http://www.mistupid.com/science/fields.htm, there are many fields in science and Whyville only covers so much! I find that strange. Why hasn't Whyville considered any biology or chemistry type games or exercises for our population? Perhaps they think it's just too hard and we'll stick to cells, neutrons and protons. Or perhaps they cannot think of a game that will be useful.

If I were 11 (I'm 16, I feel so old!) I would surely want to see the insides of a worm or even a pig! I know, it may be gross, but imagine. This can help you when you reach high school. You can know whether or not you want to go into such a "gross" field of science. To me, it doesn't matter. Bring on the pig so I can look at his insides.

Okay, this is Skittlez1
