Structure of the Earth

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.

Earthworms digging deeper.

This week we have been learning about worms and we have been observing the worms and when we put them back they left slime on our hands and the thing I didn't like was touching the worms and the thing I did like was looking for the worms.

Science Fair

We have been learning about scientific investigations.  We learnt the scientific method.  We shared our learning at our school science fair.
