GAME CONCEPTS

FULL FEATURES LIST

This game can help students achieve the learning objectives for a first year cellular biology course or introductory biology course such as:

  • Describe how the structure of cell components relates to their function
  • Recognize how the flow of energy underlies all cellular processes
  • Recognize how homeostasis is critical to life
  • Define and apply standard biological terms
  • Recognize how cellular functions are critical to life

LEARN CELL MEMBRANE COMPLEXITY AND INTERCONNECTEDNESS

Homeostasis is critical to life and taught in many introductory biology classes. Cells must maintain homeostasis and LOTE challenges players to help their cell survive. How cells use various membrane proteins and systems together to maintain balance becomes clear when playing the game.

PLAY AND EXPERIMENT

The game introduces cellular biology in a fun to play tower defense style game where learning is a byproduct of the campaign. Visually pleasing design and animations help to enhance this learning experience.

REINFORCE BIOLOGICAL TERMINOLOGY, VOCABULARY AND CONCEPTS

Life on the Edge uses biological vocabulary to help link the game to actual cellular mechanics. This enhances learning complex cellular mechanics learning and contributes to the game as a valuable study tool for students in introductory biology courses.
