In this session, we will be making a craft that displays the layers of the earth. We will be discussing each layer of the Earth, and going into depth about the differences between each and their special characteristics. We will be focusing on the crust, mantle, and the inner and outer core, as well as the continental and oceanic crust, lithosphere, and asthenosphere. The recommended age group for this project is 4 to 10 years old, although all ages are welcome!
Materials Needed:
- 1 sheet of paper (can have more for color variety)
- String/yarn/ribbon - Tape or glue - Scissors - Optional: Writing Utensils HOW TO
Step 1: Take a piece of paper, and cut a large circle in the middle of it, going from end to end. You can use a circular object to assist you.
Step 2: Take the circle you cut from the paper, and use that to cut out a large ring. Cut two more rings from that same paper so that they fit inside each other. You need to have 3(optionally 4) rings total. Step 3: Tape a sting down the middle of the paper, and tape the rings onto it, in size order. Step 4: Label the rings with the names of the layers. Step 5: Hold up you paper, and watch the layers spin! The Lesson
Throughout the course of this session, we will be discussing the layers of the earth. We will be exploring characteristics such as what each layer is made up of, the size, and more. This is an interactive activity depicting the layers of the earth, and encourages hands on-learning. It therefore ensures a deeper understanding, and helps foster interest of the topic in children. You can find our science lesson and craft explanations in the presentation below!
