Where do hot things go? How do hot molecules move? How far are hot molecules apart? Are hot molecules like a solid liquid or gas ? Where do cold things go? Are cold things like a solid liquid or gas? Why do cold things do that? What is density? What is the formula for density?.

Where do hot things go? How do hot molecules move? How far are hot molecules apart? Are hot molecules like a solid liquid or gas? Where do cold things go? Are cold things like a solid liquid or gas? Why do cold things do that? What is density? What is the formula for density? Catalyst—HW DUE TOMORROW

Every set of four will get one Earth and one piece of dental floss One person will cut the Earth in half with dental floss—two partners will share one half and two partners will share the other half Look at the layers of the Earth—see if you and your partner can name all of them. Play Dough Earth!
There are four layers of the Earth: - the crust- the mantle- the outer core- the inner core How Many Layers Are There?
The crust is the thinnest • outer layer of the Earth • Connection Think, Pair, Share: If it is the top layer do you think it is the densest or least dense layer? Crust:
Example: What could we compare the crust of the Earth to? It is similar to the peel of an apple in the sense that it is thin and covers the outside of the Earth Think Pair Share—any other ideas?
Anywhere you can see rock, you are seeing the crust of the Earth!!! What Does Crust Look Like? • A lot of the crust is hard to see because it is covered by soil, rock and water
Crust is thicker beneath continents Crust is thinner beneath oceans or rivers Why does that make sense? Mountains are parts of the crust that stick out (made of rock) Crust is under the oceans and on the land:
Crust is Mostly: Oxygen---- 47% Silicon– 28%
Location: Temperature: Density: Made up of: Thickness: Crust Review:
Peel Back your Play dough Layer! Now what layer are we on? Let’s go deeper into the Earth
The mantle is the thickestlayer located in the middle of the Earth Mantle:
Example: What could we compare the Mantle of the Earth to? It is similar to the white part of an apple in the sense that it is the thickest part Think Pair Share—any other ideas?
What Does Mantle Look Like? • The Mantle is HOT • At this temperature the rock begins to melt making the Mantle thick and oozy! • Mantle is what bursts out of volcanoes
Location: Temperature: Density: Thickness: Mantle Review:
Peel Back your Play dough Layer! Now what layer are we on? Let’s go deeper into the Earth
The core is the hottest • located in the center of the Earth • Connection Think, Pair, Share: If it is the inner layer do you think it is the densest or least dense layer? Core:
Example: What could we compare the Core of the Earth to? It is similar to the seeds or core of an apple in the sense that it is the center and the hardest/densest part. Think Pair Share—any other ideas?
What Does CoRe Look Like? • 2 layers: • Liquid outer core • Solid inner core—hard, dense center– so much pressure that despite the hot temperature that would melt the rocks it stays solid.
The Core is Mostly: Iron---- Nickel---
Location: Temperature: Density: Made up of: Thickness: C0re Review:
Catalyst– HW ON DESK What layer of the earth is densest? What is the difference between inner and outer core? What layer of the earth is coolest? What is the core made of? What is the crust made of?
Make a foldable of your layers of the Earth. • Front: Crust, Mantle, Outer Core, Inner Core • On the inside include: • Location: • Temperature: • Density: • Made up of: • Thickness: Layers of the Earth Foldable:
