Earth’s Layers Model Materials 2 paper plates 1 brad Colored pencils scissors set of templates (per group) pencil Instructions 1. Take the top plate template and trace onto one of your paper plates. (Be sure to make a dot for the center.) 2. Cut out the small wedge for your top plate. 3. Using the hole in your top plate, mark the center of your bottom plate. 4. Using the wedge you cut out, divide your bottom plate into 4 equal sections. 5. Using the round templates, draw circles on your bottom plate. (Be sure to line up the center of the template with the center of your bottom plate. Hold your pencil through both holes.) (Should be 3 circles.) 6. Pick one of the sections and color the center piece red. 7. Label that section with the information for inner core. Be sure to include what it’s made of, how thick it is, what state of matter it is and its temperature. 8. The section next to it color the outer core red-orange. (It will be the next slice up from the inner core.) 9. Label that section with the information for outer core. Be sure to include what it’s made of, how thick it is, what state of matter it is and its temperature. 10. The section next to the outer core is for the mantle. Take the curved template, line it up with the top of the mantle and draw a line to represent the lower mantle. Now, take the template, and line it up with the bottom of the mantle and draw a line to represent the upper mantle. The middle section is the asthenosphere. 11. Color the lower mantle orange, the asthenosphere pink and then upper mantle yellow. 12. In the asthenosphere, draw and label convection currents. 13. Make sure you label the lower mantle (include it’s state of matter), asthenosphere (include it’s state) and upper mantle (include it’s state). 14. Also label what the mantle is made of, how thick it is, what state of matter it is and its temperature. 15. The remaining section is the crust. Color the top left quarter of it blue(to represent the ocean) and the rest brown (for land). 16. Label that section with the information for the crust. Be sure to include what it’s made of, how thick it is, what state of matter it is and its temperature. 17. For the lithosphere, take about 3 “bumps” from the crust and 3 from the mantle. Extend the colors to fill the lithosphere and label it. 18. Take your top plate and draw at least 3 continents or islands. Color them brown or green. Color the remaining area blue to represent water. 19. Using the brad, attach the top plate to the bottom plate through the center. 20. On one edge of the top plate, label the different layers of the Earth where they match up with the bottom plate(Inner core, outer core, mantle, crust). 21. Title your plates Earth’s layers and put your name on the back.
