Use the game as a starting point for discussion about:

• the inheritance of genetic disorders such as Cystic Fibrosis and Huntingdon's Chorea
• the ethics of genetic screening
• variation amongst species
• evolution through natural selection

Thingdom can be used on computers by individuals or pairs of students working together, or by whole classes via a whiteboard. Students can also be encouraged to use the game at home to support their learning.
