Because the globe is so light once inflated, pupils can hold it, turn it and find oceans, mountain ranges and deserts for themselves instead of watching from their seats. Threading a rope or string through the two plastic rings beside the valve lets the teacher hang it from a hook or line for practical demonstrations, such as turning it slowly beside a torch to model day and night, or tracing how major rivers flow from mountain regions to the sea. The faint dotted boundaries keep attention on landforms, which suits physical geography and earth science lessons.
Inflate it without a pump as the instructions describe, and avoid over-filling so the seams are not strained. Keep it away from sharp edges and heat, wipe the glossy PVC with a soft damp cloth, and deflate it for storage during school holidays.
