BUILD A PRAIRIE - Are you up for the challenge? If you choose the right plants and animals, you can watch the prairie come to life before your eyes! You may choose to restore a tallgrass or shortgrass prairie. During each section of the game, you will be asked what plants or animals you would like to bring to your prairie site. Be careful! Some plants and animals do not belong in the prairie ecosystem. They may not survive, or they may become pest species out-competing native plants and animals. Fortunately, you have access to a field guide, where you can read about which plants and animals belong in your prairie. In each multiple-choice question, your job is to pick the best combination of plants or animals for your particular prairie type. Use the field guide to help you! http://www.bellmuseum.umn.edu/games/prairie/build/index.html

DUMPTOWN - You are Dumptown's new City Manager! When you start to play, you'll see Dumptown at its worst it's littered, polluted, and nothing is being recycled or reused. There are many trash cans and dumpsters, but no recycling bins. That means all of the trash is going right into the landfill just outside town, where it isn't doing anyone any good. In your new position, you can start programs that encourage Dumptown's citizens and businesses to recycle and reduce waste. You have 10 programs to work with. Each time you try out a new one, you can see immediately how the Dumptown landscape changes. You also see how much waste you are saving from going into the landfill. Oh, and because the people of Dumptown are paying for these programs, we've given you a way to keep track of how much money you're spending on their behalf. http://www.epa.gov/recyclecity/gameintro.htm

SWIM FOR YOUR LIFE - The game traces the natural history of the anadromous fish. In the game, you begin your life as developing fish embryo contained within the egg, then larval fish living and feeding in marshland nurseries. Later you move into the river and estuary to begin your journey to the ocean. Once in the ocean, you will require three or four years of growth to reach reproductive maturity, whereupon you will begin the same migration your parents made, leaving the open ocean and entering coastal estuaries and rivers. Your upstream journey will eventually take you to the watersheds from which you originated. Once there, you will leave the spawn for a future generation and continuation of the cycle. http://fergusonfoundation.org/btw-students/swim-for-your-life-fish-game/
