Earth's Interior

Question of the day: What are the three layers of earth's interior?

Answer: The earth is made up of three layers, the crust: which is the physical land you walk on every day. The mantle: lies underneath the crust and is made up of extremely hot iron and magnesium rich solid rock. The core: which is made up of two parts, the liquid outer core and the solid inner core.

An example of how the layers should look and what each layer of your clay project represents.

Our Project !

Together we will create our own 3-D model of the earth' interior with clay! So let's start building

But before we begin we have a few rules to remember

  • No one will eat or take the clay from others. Everyone will be given the same amount of clay for the project

  • The clay is not edible so please don't eat it

  • If you have any questions during the project, please don't hesitate to ask me

  • Most importantly, Have fun!
