Rainforest School/School of Mines

I found this video fascinating. Having a rainforest inside the school is so neat. Students are able to learn hands-on by experience what it is like in the rainforest. Teachers are able to utilize the space to direct their teaching. I was thinking that if I was a teacher in that school I would be spending my break time in that room, how relaxing it would be. The mine was also neat. I remember going on a field trip in Elementary School were I was able to pan for gold and such. It is neat when students are able to work hands-on. It's also neat that each exhibit was able to be built because of the support of the community. I wondering if they live in a high socioeconomic area.
