Reef Survivor Board Game Data for AP Environmental Sciences

A board game dataset designed as an active learning tool for high school Advanced Placement Environmental Sciences. The game, created by Rowan Martindale and hosted by the Texas Data Repository, aims to teach ecology, evolution, and environmental perturbations through gameplay focused on building resilient reef ecosystems. The dataset was last updated on March 18, -2024.

Use Cases

• Designing classroom activities based on the game's modeling of complex Earth systems.
• Studying educational outcomes for active learning tools in environmental science.
• Analyzing game mechanics that blend decision-making and chance to teach evolutionary processes.

Strengths

• Dataset is explicitly designed for an educational context, the high school AP Environmental Sciences curriculum.
• Gameplay is structured around concrete scientific concepts: ecology, evolution, and environmental perturbations.
• Last update was recorded on 2024-03-18, indicating recent maintenance.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and file formats are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
