This sketch note shows how the Earth formed, how the interior is still heated, what planetary differentiation is, and how it impacts the Earth.

My sketch note compares the layers of Earth to Mars. They both do have layers.

One layer that they both have in common is the dense core. Another common layer is the mantle. They also have similar crusts.

The elements that make them up are both similar and different. Earth is made up of nickel, iron, uranium, thorium, iron, magnesium, silicon, silica, aluminum, oxygen and more. Mars is made up of much less, iron, nickel, sulfur, magnesium, aluminum, calcium and potassium.

In this project, we learned about how a species of mouse in the Valley of Fire evolved over time and is now has a different color coat.
