Play with
the planet.
Earth science makes more sense when you can do something with it. Explore deep time, change the climate system, investigate an earthquake, build a volcanic eruption and put Pangaea back together through free interactive STEM experiences.
What do you want
to mess with?
Each free interactive experiment focuses on a different part of Earth science — from geology and climate science to seismology, volcanology, sedimentology and plate tectonics. No science background required. Curiosity helps.
Your Birth in Deep Time
Compress Earth’s entire 4.6-billion-year history into one calendar year, enter your birthday and discover what the planet was like on your day in deep time.
The Climate Machine
Change Earth’s orbit, CO₂, vegetation and clouds, trigger volcanic aerosols, then give the climate system time to respond. Can you create an Ice Age?
Earthquake Detective
Read P and S waves from three seismic stations, convert their arrival-time gaps into distance and use triangulation to find the hidden earthquake epicenter.
Volcano Lab
Build a magma, change its silica, gas, temperature, crystals and conduit conditions, then press Erupt and discover what kind of volcanic behaviour you created.
Sediment Sorter
Build a sediment mix, change river flow and channel slope, then release the grains and watch gravel, sand, silt and clay take different journeys through the flume.
Put Pangaea Back Together
Drag and rotate the continents to rebuild the ancient supercontinent. Use matching fossils, geological belts and glacial clues to test where the pieces belong.
Less textbook.
More planet.
The Lab is where Dig Earth Studio turns Earth-science ideas into things you can actually interact with.
These are simplified teaching models, not professional scientific software. Their job is to make the important relationships visible without burying them under every complication the real planet can throw at us.
