There are definitely two sides to any environmental issue, especially around the question if man should "fix" the problem or let nature take its course.

It sounds like the kids were pretty engaged in the process and hopefully it led to some great argumentative writing. I appreciate hearing how this works in sixth grade, it gives me an idea of what they need to be able to do as a scientific writer.
