Earth's Structure

Materials:

Wax crayons

6" Styrofoam balls

Cutouts of the continents,

Give each student a large Styrofoam ball (6-in.). Using a knife cut a large wedge out of the ball so it can be seen to the center. (These could be pre-cut to keep the students from using a knife.) Draw lines to show the relative thickness of each layers. Color with wax crayons. Label. Put cutouts of continents on the outside. Summarize what was learned.
