Is Earth like a hard-boiled egg?

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!

Structure Of The Earth

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 the; crust,mantle,outer core and the inner core.

Facts about each layer:

Crust -the crust is the thinnest layer on the Earth at 8-40 km thick and it is the coldest layer of the Earth

Mantle - the mantle is the thickest layer of the Earth and it has lots of lava and it takes up 84% of Earth's total volume.

Outer Core - the outer core is the only liquid layer and as the Earth spins around it spins around the melted iron and nickel moves around.

Inner Core - the inner core is really hot but it is solid because the pressure from the earth pushed onto is and makes it a solid iron and nickel ball.

Our group -  Jaxon,Maximus,Kane

First we created a 3D image of the earth using clay, knife, and news paper.

We then cut the shape in half to show the different layers. After waiting for it to dry, we identified each layer by painting them in different colours.

Below are some pictures of our work.
