Harmony Lake
It provides a way for students to explore changes to ecosystems in a lab setting and be able to observe long term and difficult to visualize changes. It is very much in line with the new SEED science standards for 6th grade.

Any 6th grade science teacher could use the game as a lab to explore the effects of changes to an ecosystem on the populations of organisms. There are also simulated events that require engineering solutions. the game also provides graphs that could be used for standard 6.4.1 to analyze data about population stability.
