Structure of the Earth Facts

Hello,👋😁

For writing today we did some facts on the structure and the layers of the Earth.
Yesterday we all got into groups of three and made an Earth out of modelleing clay,
then we all painted the four layers of the Earth in different colours
(blue, green, yellow, red, brown and orange).

I really liked making the continents and islands on the crust.😉
It was really hard making the layers because we kept on squishing
them so you couldn't see that they were layers.🌏🌍🌎

Here is my writing and my photos:  

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: Crust, Mantle, Outer Core, Inner Core.

Facts about each layer:

Crust - The crust is the thinnest layer out of all four of them.

The crust is 8-40 kms thick!!

Mantle -  The mantle is the thickest layer of them all. It has melted rocks that squish around

because it’s so hot.

Outer Core - The Outer Core is the 3rd layer to the inside of the Earth.

It is totally liquid-rock and it’s also 4000-6000℃.

Inner Core - The Inner core might be really, really super duper hot but it is solid why?
Because of all the pressure pushing down on it from all the other layers.

Our group - Saphera, Aaidyn and I Annelise😎

First we created a 3D image of the earth using modelling clay, paint and
(blue, green, yellow, red, brown and orange) a knife (to shape the layers).

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.
