Liberty Balloon Company offers a
unique educational program for elementary and secondary
schools. Our assembly entitled "Up and Away with
Hot Air Balloons!" combines the natural excitement
of the balloon with a wealth of teaching experience.
Our program consists
of two segments: an educational session and
a live demonstration.
The
heart of the program is a presentation illustrated
with slides. The pilot/presenter shares with the students
how balloons work and what kinds of things can be
done with balloons. Many subjects are covered during
this time including the history of ballooning and
aviation, the effect of weather, the mechanics of
modern ballooning, licensing, and how the natural
high is better than drugs. This portion of the program
is flexible, and can be tailored to any subject to
emphasize science or to complement a reading program,
for example.
The
demonstration is where the students see the balloon
in action...inflated, and up close & personal!
Witnessing firsthand an inflation of a real balloon
is a magnificent and inspiring sight, one that students
and teachers alike will never forget.
