is Earth like a hand boyode

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.

to the Science experiment report we wrote with the teacher at the end of our experiment.

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 inner core, outer core, mantle and
crust.

Facts about each layer: Inner core outer core Mantle and crust. they are

Crust - The crust is the thinnest layer of them all and and is pushing all the others in.

Mantle - The mantle is made out of rocks and it is squishy and soft because the hot temperature
has melted the rocks.

Outer Core -The outer core is the third layer of the Earth.  It is the temperature of the out layer of the sun which is about 5,778 K

Inner Core - The inner core is solid Nickel and Iron.  Even though it is extremely hot, it remains solid because of the pressure pushing in on it from all of the layers above.

Our group - Piata, Brooke, Elise

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

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.
