main layers.
TTW explain that the shell represents the crust –
it is very thin and rigid so it breaks easily, the
white represents the mantle, this is the largest
part of the Earth’s interior. It is made of rock that
is so hot it can flow but only extremely slowly.
The mantle is hotter close to the core and cools a
little as it nears the crust just as the egg is hot in
the middle and cooler on the outside. The yolk of
the egg is the Earth’s core.
TTW allow the student’s to observe the egg and
draw conclusions.
