Students at East Elementary school were recently excited to discover geography on an epic scale during a special assembly featuring The Earth Dome, a gigantic inflatable earth balloon that stands 19-feet high and 22-feet in diameter. The Earth Dome is made of 24 huge panels silkscreened with photographs shot from satellites of the surface of the world on cloud free days. The Earth Dome allows students to better understand the scale of concepts such as continents, time zones, latitude, longitude, and more. The captivating learning experience deepened student understanding and was a unique way to expand on what they learn in class.
