Solar Dome
Luverne fourth graders Joey Sleiter (left) Dylan Stokes and Matthew Engesser prepare to lead the next group of students through the Solar Dome, an oversized plastic bubble that was on display last week in the elementary school multi-purpose area. Fourth-grade teachers Tim Christensen and Randa Gangestad developed the Solar Dome idea seven years ago as a science project that encourages students to research space facts and develop a Solar Dome based on their findings. Various fourth-grade students took turns serving as flashlight tour guides to show off the air-filled space system to fellow elementary school students in all grades.
