Last week in Mr. Brooks' The World Outside class, students demonstrated how habitats must have a balance of resources (food, water, shelter, and space) by playing Jenga. Check out the slideshow and video of the game below!

Bucket Race
Mr. Brooks' 6th grade "The World Outside" class was outdoors today learning about watersheds and water conservation. They discussed the ways in which they use water every day. Did you know that every flush of your toilet uses about 5 gallons of water? In order for the students to understand how much 5 gallons is, they carried a 5 gallon bucket once around the entire school with a team! It was great exercise and great fun!
