PMI Structure of the Earth

Kiaora,
Here is my Structure of the Earth and my PMI task to I hope you like it. The thing I liked about it was doing the tasks. I liked all of it but I took a little to long. But it was still fun to do this whole task.The learning behind the task was understanding the different layers of the Earth.

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 tasted yuck!

Here is the link to the science experiment report 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 Mantle,Crust, Outer Core and Inner Core.

Facts about each layer:

Crust - It is soil and brittle it is also the thinnest layer of Earth. It is the first layer of Earth.

Mantle - Mantel is made out of melted rock and is the thickest. Itt is soft and squishy, it is the hottest and the second layer in the Earth.

Outer Core - the outer core is made out of liquid and is the third layer of Earth.

Inner Core - the inner core is made out of Iron and Nickel and it is the last layer of the Earth. It is solid because the other layers create so much pressure pushing down on it.

Our group -  Arbey, Rainbow, Rory

First we created our Earth with clay. We then cut the shape in half to show the different layers. After waiting for a day to dry, we identified each layer by painting them in different colours.

Below are some pictures of art work.
