You Got The Whole World In Your Hands: Geology, Earth's Layers, Science

Geology junkies will make a foldable that covers a lot of ground regarding Earth's internal structure, its position in the solar system, and an explanation for its seasons. Templates and a printable page of instructions are included....

Young scientists piece together the geological puzzle that is the earth in the third and final lesson of this earth science series. With the help of numerous multimedia resources and a series of engaging hands-on activities, students...

Students research physical science by creating a model in class. For this earth layers lesson, students define the Earth inner and outer core as well as the crust and their characteristics. Students utilize clay, marbles and a knife to...

Life on Earth is made possible by the unique composition of its atmosphere. Working collaboratively, a scale model is created as young scientists learn about the different layers of gas that surround the planet. Cards are included that...

Explore Earth and her amazing layers with this lesson on planetary change. Students will research the ways in which Earth's layers cause change. They will complete a "Tectonic Puzzle" and use a worksheet to answer questions about Earth's...

In less than 25 years, the continent of Australia moved 4.9 feet thanks to plate tectonics. The presentation introduces the idea of the layers of the earth as well as plate tectonics. It goes into why the plates move and where we believe...

Providing an interactive experience, this Jeopardy-style game leads players through a review of scientific concepts. The presentation covers topics such as sound, the Earth's layers, magnetism, and the states of matter. This would be a...

The deeper you go into the Earth, the hotter it's going to get. Discover what is actually beyond the Earth's crust and why it gets hotter and hotter the further you go.

Why can't we dig through to the other side of the Earth? There are many layers and lots of heat, so the job is impossible. Watch a video that describes and explains each layer of the Earth.

What a great way to incorporate hands-on learning while teaching about the earth's layers. The class observes an overhead transparency (linked in Included Materials) as they create their own model Earth using different colors of clay....
