Start the Earth Layers Foldable
1.
Desk Copy
Color the Earth's interior layers (both diagrams) according to the key below:
Water=blue,
Land=green,
Ocean Crust=darker brown
Continental Crust=lighter brown,
----- aka Lithosphere =crusts +upper mantle
Mantle=(upper) yellow,
Mantle (middle) lighter orange, ---------aka Athenosphere=middle mantle
Mantle-(lower) darker orange,
Outer Core-orange-ish red,
Inner Core-red
2.
Cut out and paste one set of layers onto the inside right hand portion of the foldout. Snip
out one set of labels (terms) and paste onto the appropriate layers on the inside diagram of the
foldout.
3.
Cut out the other set of layers and paste onto the outside front of the foldout. (no labels/terms)
4.
Cut out and paste the info boxes into the appropriate square on the inside left part of the foldout.
5.
Use the textbooks in the room, purple book (pp. 51-53) and orange book (pp. 167-169),
to fill in the statistics on the white info boxes for the:
-composition (rocky, metallic, rocky/metallic),
-thickness (how many km thick), and
-state of matter (solid, liquid or gas).
6.
Use the purple book (pp. 51-53) and orange book (pp. 167-169), as well as the power point
below to come up with 3 VIPs for each of the layers (Crust, Mantle, Outer Core, Inner Core).
Record the VIPs on the notes lines in the inside left portion of the foldout.

The textbooks pages are PDF'd below:
orange book-pp. 166-167, and 168-169
purple book- pp. 51 and 54, and 52-53.
This is what the
front cover will
have on it.
This is
what the
inside
will have
in it.
This is how the inside (and cover) is colored:
This is an example of how the inside might eventually look like:
