This Is My Pmi About The Structure Of The Earth

Last week and this week we have made a pmi about our structure of the earth animation. This shows what we liked and what we didn't like and what we learned from doing this reading task. Here is my Plus Minus Interesting chart.

Structure Of The Earth Animation

We have been learning about the structure of the earth. This animation shows what I know about the Earth's four layers.

Is Earth like a boiled egg

Kia ora

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!

Here is a link to the science experiment report we wrote with the teacher at the end of the experiment.

Structure Of The Earth Facts

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 that is the first layer the mantle the second layer the outer core the third layer the inner core the last layer.

Facts about each layer:

Crust - The crust is the shortest layer it is 40 km long it is solid brittle deepest hole in the world got up to 12 km they had to stop because it got to hot and the tools stop working.

Mantle - The mantle is the thickest layer, it is made out of melted rocks that makes it soft and squishy.

Outer Core - The outer core is so hot it gets to the temperature of the surface of the sun, this layer is total liquid.

Inner Core - Now the inner core is solid even though it is so hot because the pressure from all of the other layers of the Earth around it.

Our group - Buster/Me Cameron Tristan.

First we created a 3D image of the earth using ….. soft clay, knife.

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.
