This Friday, May 14th our 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade classes will be treated to a unique and exciting view of our earth – from the inside out! EarthView, presented by Bridgewater State University, will be set up in the gym all day long.
The EarthView is a 22’ inflatable globe that allows students to walk inside the earth and see it from a totally different perspective. The Bridgewater State’s Department of Geography will offer a 20-minute presentation to each group. The EarthView is both a fascinating teaching tool and a delicate work of art. The outside is a hand-painted, large-scale map of the Earth's surface, showing biological communities, rivers, seas, landforms, continents, islands, oceans, and major cities. The inside reveals the positions of tectonic plate boundaries and ocean spreading centers, along with all of the detail visible from the outside.

****Please note:
**Shoes must be removed and socks must be worn while visiting the EarthView. Please advise your students. I will bring extra pairs of new socks for those that forget, but I won’t have enough for everyone!
