Middle School and High School Science through Educational Live Action Roleplay (Edu-LARP) A new way to learn to love science through telling a narrative story and encountering the science naturally to “win the game!.” It is the best practices of inquiry based, project based, and gamification methodologies brought into one super fun system. This incredible method is both fun to teach and an exciting way to learn for the students. Edu-LARP is the best way to increase student interest, participation, and retention for your classroom.
After 20 years of teaching and developing these Edu-LARP curriculums, I have discovered that this method of teaching, helps students remember the details and have meaningful attachment to the material. There are no “random facts to be tested on.” All the information and science topics taught are important for them to succeed at the game. Thus, giving the student a vested interest in learning the material, doing the work, and making memories about the science that are integrated into the memorable story we create together. Think of it as a very long fable that is teaching the science in a very real and personal manner.
