Layers of the Earth

WALT-Make a model of the layers of the earth out of play-dough.   

So...that when we learn about natural disasters we can use our knowledge of the layers to understand them better.   
To..... help us in topic and science and learn about the earth around us.

Crust - The crust is the tectonic plates around the world.

Mantle - The mantle is 400 km thick and it is made out of iron and  magnesium.

Outer-Core - The outer-core is 2300 km thick and is liquid, but contains iron,sulphur and nickel.  

Inner-Core - Did you know that a Inner-core is 1220 km thick?  It is 6650 degrees Celsius!  That’s really hot!
