Our atmosphere

Joshua has been learning about our atmosphere its many different layers. We decided to vary the suggested activity in his book a little and came up with this model to roughly demonstrate the comparative sizes of each layer. We made our layers with food colouring and gelatine.

What is truly facinating about our atmosphere is the incredible way that God put different layers in just the right spot/to contain exactly the right gases to protect us from the sun (ozone layer) as well as to protect us from falling meteors, stars, etc. Praise God from whom all blessings flow, praise Him all creatures here below!
