Structure of the Earth

Kia ora bloggers,
For the past two weeks, we have been learning about the Structure of the Earth. We did this task for reading. We learnt about how many layers there are inside the Earth. There are four layers of the Earth, the layers of the Earth are called the Crust, Mantle, Outer Core and Inner Core. The learning behind the task is to learn about the Structure of the Earth and what is beneath the crust. I enjoyed choosing what I wanted to do.I did not like doing the people.

Is Earth like a hard-boiled egg?

We are learning about what the Earth is like on the outside and the inside. We used hard-boiled eggs as mini-models for the earth. We got to design our own continents and islands on the outside of the egg shell. At the end of the experiment we got to eat the egg! The egg was very awful!!! 

Here is the link to the science experiment we wrote with the teacher.

Structure of the Earth Facts

We are learning about the structure of the Earth.

I learnt that the Earth is made up of 4 layers. They are the

CRUST

MANTLE OUTER CORE

INNER CORE

Facts about each layer:

Crust - The crust is the thinnest layer.The Earth is also the 1st layer.

Mantle - The mantle is the thickest layer of the earth and it is soft squishy rock
because it is hot.

Outer Core -is the third layer of the Earth and is under of the Mantle. Also it is very very hot at the
Outer Core it is 4000-6000'C totally liquid and it has some rocks.

Inner Core - The core is very very hot it is 6,000 Hot. The core is solid ball from all the other layers

Our group -  is Ariana Teziah Hayley.

First we created a 3D image of the earth using …..

We then cut the shape in half to show the different layers.
After waiting for it to dry, we identified each layer by painting them in different colours.

Below are some pictures of our work.
