Food in the stratosphere – level 1

Food in the stratosphere

14-07-2023 15:00

There’s a group of people. They want to send a fake pastry into the stratosphere.

They use a big balloon. The balloon is filled with gas. It takes the pastry up. It gets up to 29,000 feet (8,839 metres). There’s a camera on the balloon, too. It films an interesting video.

After two hours up there, the balloon starts to go down. The people then find it.

Difficult words: fake (not real), pastry (sweet food), stratosphere (part of the atmosphere).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.

 

What methods could the group have used to make sure they find their balloon and pastry again?
