Is the Earth like a hard-boiled egg?

Kia ora 

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!

Here is the link to our science experiment.

The Structure of the Earth Facts

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 Inner.

Facts about each layer:

Crust -The Crust is made up of soil and rock. It is 8 to 40kms thick.

Mantle - The Mantle is really hot and is squishy liqud. It is the thickest layer.

Outer Core - The Outer Core is even hotter and is runny to. It is 4000-6000*C.

Inner Core - The Inner Core is even hotter then the Outer Core and the mantle and is rock solid
because of all the pressure from the other layers.

Our group -  

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

We then cut the shape in half to show the

different layers. After waiting for it to dry, we

identifiedee each layer by painting them in different colours

Below are some pictures of our work.

halving shapes

Hello my fello commenters

We have been learning about halving shapes.
The reason behind this task was to find halves of tricky shapes.
The thing I found hard was that not all the shapes were even on both sides.
Something that helped me was using the squares in the background.
