Today, we learned about the Earth's atmosphere! We first asked the kids what they knew about the atmosphere. They gave very good educated guesses, like that the atmosphere is the thing that connects Earth and space together. We then went over what the atmosphere was and what gases made up the atmosphere. Next, we went over all 5 layers of the atmosphere in detail, and each atmosphere layer's purpose and function. For example, we talked about how the troposphere contains the oxygen humans needed for survival, and how the stratosphere contains the ozone layer. Then, we talked about how human interactions are damaging the Earth's atmosphere. We wrapped up the session by taking a quiz about what element they are!
