The primary goal of the game is to keep Greenville's population healthy and happy for one fictional year.   As the population grows, so does the demand for shelter and resources.  Players must collect resources such as Food, Water, and Energy from the area around Greenville.  These resources are used to build and upgrade structures in Greenville such as a Town Hall, Housing Co-Op, or Water Filtration Plant.  Resources can also be traded at the Market and spent on helpful Advisory Groups such as a Volunteer workforce, Arts Council, or Farmers Union.

We believe that schools play a pivotal role in moving us beyond our growing environmental crises and toward a sustainable society. We recognize schooling for sustainability as a process that fosters abundant living on a finite planet and makes teaching and learning come alive. We bring a passion to our work that stems from our conviction that the best hope for learning to live sustainably lies in schooling that returns to the real basics: engaging with the natural world; understanding how nature sustains life; nurturing healthy communities; exploring the consequences of how we feed and provision ourselves; caring about the places where we live and the people and creatures in pdboyer Sat, 18 Sep 2010 02:42:20 GMT http://www.learner.org/interactives/ Amusement Park Physics (Grades 9-12) How do physics laws affect amusement park ride design?
