...., 2014 ). I designed a simulation that uses inquiry and game play to teach high school (grades 9–12) biology students these concepts. The game involves teamwork, decisions about diet, cause and effect of various life events, and data analysis. Educational approaches such as game play and active learning...

...Nicole Brennan; Kay Stearns Bruening; Jane Burrell; Margaret A.
