Stebbins is a game about evolution. Students collect data as predators “eating” colored circles on a colored background, being careful to avoid the poisonous ones. Data analysis reveals how the population changes color over time and can be used to illuminate a common misconception that individuals change in response to predation. Stebbins is modeled on a non-digital game-like simulation of natural selection created by evolutionary biologist G. Ledyard Stebbins.
