The students at Peterson Elementary School, 5510 N. Christiana Ave., in Chicago’s North Park neighborhood will learn about hot air ballooning when the RE/MAX Hot Air Balloon and its crew visit the school on Dec. 4 to present a special interactive educational program. The visit is part of an on-going balloon education program developed by RE/MAX, the Chicago real estate leader.
The students at the school will see presentations that cover various aspects of ballooning, including its history, the scientific principles involved and a demonstration during which the envelope of the 75-foot-tall balloon will be partially inflated to help students understand how the balloon functions. The program will be presented indoors at 9 a.m.
The RE/MAX Northern Illinois real estate network is sponsoring the event and is working with Ruth Kopke, a science teacher at Peterson.
