Layers of atmosphere board game

Board game must include the names of all layers of the atmosphere and the characteristics of each layer (energy, density, air pressure, temperature, and altitude). As the players move along the game board (made from a file folder) they will answer questions that teach them important facts, or review what they have learned. Game pieces need to be appropriate to the topic, rules need to be typed and thorough, and grammar, capitalization, punctuation, and spelling mechanics need to be correct.
