Life Preservers

Life Preservers is a game designed to teach national science standards about evolution and adaptation, while studying science games, play style, and learning. The game and study are funded by the National Science Foundation. The project is conducted by Professor Carrie Heeter and colleagues at Michigan State University (heeter@msu.edu).

It is an engaging, fun, pedagogically rich learning experience that can fit within a single class period. For purposes of the research, a short pre-game survey, the game itself, and a short post-game survey are combined into a single online experience.

If you are interested in being part of the study and want more information, please visit the Life Preservers Teacher Site or contact Dr. Heeter via email (heeter@msu.edu).
