  Mike Myers is a teacher at Chauncey Rose High School in Terre Haute,Indiana. Last year,he taught his students about the world's rainforests.They learned that rainforests are important because the plants and animals of the rainforest give us food,wood,and medicine.

   Destruction of the worlds rainforests is a serious problem. Unluckily,rainforests are disappearing at a rate of 80 a-cres per minute!As part of a class project,Myers’ students bought three acres of rainforest in Central America.They paid $25 per acre. The students hope that the land they bought will be protected and not destroyed.The students became so interested in rainforests that they decided to get a closer look at a real rainforest.

   So last June,Myers and four of his students went on a seven-day trip to visit the rainforests of Costa Rica. “The trip was wonderful.lt was a very exciting experience”, said Myers.

   At the beginning of the week,the group took a boat ride down a river.They saw alligators and crocodiles.In the middle of the week,a guide took Myers and his students into the rainforest. “ The monkeys were not happy that we were in their forest.They broke small branches off the trees and threw them at us ,” one of the students said. ‘‘It was a great learning experience for all of us/said Myers.

   Each student chose something specific about Costa Rica to study involving the plants,animals,food,and culture. During the last few days the group had time to do fun activities. They went whitewater rafting and horseback riding,and visited Costa Rica's active volcano.
