Earth’s Interior Poster Project Learning Target: Sketch and Label the major layers of the Earth, showing the approximate relative thicknesses and consistency of the crust, core, and mantle. Assignment: Students are responsible for creating an informational poster about the layers of the Earth. The purpose is to identify the Earth’s layers and describe their physical characteristics (i.e. thickness, viscosity, temperature, etc.). Students are expected to successfully present information in a clear, concise, format. STEP ONE: Complete “Earth’s Interior” Activity STEP TWO: Complete a rough draft of the layout and then get a poster board from Ms. Alsept STEP THREE: Complete final poster using the following criteria. Drawing(s): Must include a scale drawing of the Earth’s layers including a closer look at the layers near the Earth’s surface (Should be about 5 inches in diameter.) Must include a cutout, which shows the layers up close. Content: Properly identify the layers of the Earth on your drawing and provide a separate description of the characteristics for each layer. Layers: a. b. c. d. Inner Core Outer Core Mantle Asthenosphere e. f. g. h. Lithosphere Crust Continental Crust Oceanic Crust Characteristics: These are some things you should include, but are not everything. You should write at least three or four sentences. a. Thickness – How thick is the layer (use Kilometers)? b. Material – What is its primary mineral content or rock type? c. Temperature – Be specific and use Celsius scale Interesting or Fun Fact: Should be one paragraph (about 4 sentences) describing some feature, function, or miscellaneous fact about the interior of the Earth and/or its layers. Layout/Visual Appeal: Drawing should be in color, neat, have “good flow”, and be easy to read. The Title should be in large print (about one inch tall). You also include your names, date, and period in top right corner or directly under the title. Legibility: I should be able to “easily” read what you have. Typing is best however do not use large font. Include large labels (about ¾ inch tall), medium-large font. Use accurate spelling. Grading: Drawing(s) = 10 points Content = 10 points Layout/Visual Appeal = 5 points Legibility = 5 points _____________________________________________________________________________________ Total = 30 points total This is an example of what your board could look like Inner Core _____________ _____________ _____________ Outer Core _____________ _____________ Mantle _____________ _____________ FUN FACT: __________________________________ __________________________________ _________________________________ Crust _____________ _____________ _____________ Asthenosphere ______________ ______________ Lithosphere ______________ ______________ Oceanic Crust ______________ ______________ ______________ Continental Crust ______________ ______________ ______________
