Science Fun!

Today we had a yummy treat in science! We enjoyed learning about the layers of the earth as we made an OREO model of the Earth's layers. Here's a picture of our model:




the OREO: the CRUST
the DOUBLE STUFF: the MANTEL
the CHOCOLATE SYRUP: the OUTER CORE
the M&M: the INNER CORE

Not only was our model yummy, but it is also an accurate representation of the Earth's layers. The outer crust is a thing, sold layer of rock, the mantel is the largest layer made of semi-solid structure (a lot like silly putty!), the outer core is so hot it is constantly in the liquid state, and the inner core is so tightly compacted that it vibrate like a solid similar to the M&M! Pretty cool, right?!
