Science 8: Earth’s Interior Layers
Objective:
Content 01. The Earth’s interior is made up of layers. These include the crust, lithosphere,
asthenosphere, outer core, and inner core.
Content 02. Crust is the outermost layer of Earth, composed of rock.
Content 03. Lithosphere is the rigid outer layer of Earth, made of the crust and the solid,
uppermost part of the mantle.
Content 04. Asthenosphere is the region of Earth’s interior immediately below the lithosphere
where mantle rocks are hot enough and under enough pressure to deform, change shape, and
flow.
Content 05. Outer core is the outer layer of Earth’s core made of melted, liquid metal.
Content 06. Inner core is the inner layer of Earth’s core believed to be made of solid nickel and
iron.
Explain. Create a three-dimensional cross-section of Earth’s interior. Each section is labeled and
created with appropriate thickness.

Science 8: Volcanoes, Day 1
Objective:
Content 01. A volcano is a vent in the surface of Earth through which magma and associated
gases and ash erupt.
Content 02. Volcanoes exist in the following states: active, dormant, and extinct
Content 03. Volcanoes are created differently based off of mineral composition to form cinder
cone, shield, or strata volcano.
Content 04. The anatomy of a volcano contains a magma chamber, vent, summit crater, earlier
eruption layers, and volcanic cone
Content 05. When erupting, volcanoes release the following material: viscous liquid in the form
of lava, nuee ardente, plume, and volcanic ash.
Content 06. Volcanologist are scientists who studies volcanoes and volcanic activity
Investigate. View Fire Mountain: The Eruption and Rebirth of Mt. St. Helen to answer
predetermined questions.
