A project on planetary diļ¬erentiation
Task: To create a planet with 4 layers, each increasing in density from the outer layer to the core.
1. You may work individually or with a partner. If you choose to work with a partner, you must let me know who this is.
2. Planets, like the real sort, must be solid spheres . ey may be put on a stick or another type of base for display purposes.
3.
e layers of the sphere, as noted above and also like the real sort, must increase in density from the outermost layer to the innermost layer (core = most dense). (Layers, like the real sort, do not need to be uniform throughout. In other words, there may be areas where a layer is thicker than in another area.
4. As you determine density, you must record your data in the table below:
Layer
(***include the name of the material that is used)
What is the density?
(ALL densities must be in g/cm g/mL)
3 or
How do you know?
(Write at least one sentence.
Explanations must be thorough.)
1 (outside)
4 (core)
5. You must present your planet, including a short slideshow with the following:
1. A name for your planet
2. A picture of your planet
3. e table above with layers, the densities, and how you determined these densities
