The computer chips come from semi conductive minerals usually germanium, silicon, and finding those in nature is not always easy but, they are minerals they are properly manufactured, firstly they are melted down and then are pulled into a giant single crystal that is perfectly shaped to fit the needs of the computer chip manufacturer, then they are cleaned and cut within a few thousandths of a inch usually thinner than a piece of paper and smaller than a rice grain, then etched with UV resin, washes, and copper to make microscopic pathways for transistors and so forth, then after that they are put into they're cases and have the very small like thinner than a hair small gold electrical wires attached to each point of the chip.So from a outside perspective yes they are still minerals but refined and manufactured to fit a purpose entirely different than the material itself is.

For biology i have to pretend im a scientist in the year 3020 and i have to create an animal and explain what the worlds climate
lyudmila [28]

Try mixing two or more animals together to create an animal. Research their physical features, the environment they do well in, senses, etc.

For example:

A cat-like creature with an alligator's tail and a bird's beak.

This creature would have cat-like instincts, but be able to swim underwater to to it's alligator tail (alligators are born to swim) and sing like a bird due to it's beak. Plus you could add anything else you want.

Another thing you could do is look up fantasy animals from video games and get inspired from them!

For worlds, you probably want to build a world that your animal could survive in.

No Man's Sky, a video-game, has endless biomes and worlds that you can take inspiration from for the climate and it's features.

You could also research about any known planets (doesn't have to be in our solar system) and mix two or more together, take aspects from one planet and give it to another, etc!

I hope these ideas helped you a bit :)
