Fishbanks is a multiplayer web-based simulation in which participants play the role of fishers and seek to maximize their net worth as they compete against other players and deal with variations in fish stocks and their catch. Participants buy, sell, and build ships; decide where to fish; and negotiate with one another. Policy options available to instructors include auctions of new boats, permits, and quotas.

Vice videos can have some foul language. I use this when teaching Air and Water Pollution. This video is somewhat benign in the language department. Video also can be used to discuss developing countries and recycling of minerals.

Caution!! Foul language alert!! I really like the science in this video.. This ship captain has been visiting this part of the ocean for 30 plus years, so, I like the visuals and his input. The scientist on board is also very good. However, I get release forms signed by parents before showing these videos because the language is offensive to me. My students say it's not a big deal. I still mute the really foul parts :) An eye opener about plastic!

Part 3. The ending is disturbing to my students, they realize how we can never clean up this mess... we must stop using the plastic. They all start bring stainless water containers to class from this point. No more plastic water bottles in class!!

This flash flood had an impact on our county in WV, destroying one high school and two middle schools as well as numerous homes. We still do not know if we are going to consolidate. Eight inches of rain fell in 12-18 hours. Would be good to use with Natural Disasters.

This is a great activity that can be adapted to any major river. I have done this with students of all ages. A great way to introduce Non-Point Source Pollution. I have used this demonstration with all age groups and it has a powerful impact.
