Our first graders discover geography on a scale you never thought possible! The Earth Dome is a gigantic inflatable earth balloon standing 19-feet high and 22-feet in diameter. It’s made of 24 huge panels silkscreened with photographs shot from satelites of the surface of the world on cloud free days. It educates our students about geography as well as environmental issues with presentations both outside and inside the balloon. Seeing and understanding the Earth as it appears from space, as opposed to painted globes or drawings is an experience not soon forgotten.
