Creating an Aurora Lights Model for School Fair

AI Thread Summary
Creating a model of aurora lights for a geography fair can be achieved using various methods. One suggested approach is to utilize a hologram to simulate the visual effects of auroras. However, a more innovative idea involves using a cathode ray tube filled with easily ionizable gas, which can produce stunning light displays when placed in a dark environment. This method promises to create a captivating representation of aurora lights, enhancing the educational experience at the fair.
