AeroLayer is an innovative toy meticulously crafted to educate children about the distinct layers of Earth's atmosphere, while fostering an understanding of oxygen level variations.
Overview
AeroLayer draws inspiration from the classic stack-up toy, ingeniously designed to illustrate the various atmospheric layers to children, concurrently demonstrating the decline in oxygen levels through interactive ring size reduction.
The Earth's atmosphere comprises five distinct layers, each characterized by varying compositions and containing different elements and objects within their respective boundaries.

Purpose
AeroLayer engages children in interactive learning, simplifying complex concepts about Earth's atmosphere. Through play, kids effortlessly absorb and retain knowledge, fostering a deeper understanding from a young age.
Components
Function
In the atmosphere, the initial layer at its base contains the highest concentration of oxygen, gradually decreasing as altitude increases. This transition is symbolized by the diminishing size of rings, illustrating the progressive reduction in oxygen levels.

After stacking the layers, children can affix small attachments that denote the objects present at each level, enhancing both the visual representation and their practical understanding of the atmosphere's composition.
Stack with Attachments
The activity involves a globe mounted on a stick, passing through stacked layers. Difficulty increases from top to bottom, simulating the decrease in oxygen levels. This hands-on approach reinforces the concept of atmospheric layers twice during play, making learning engaging and effective.
