Name ______________________________________ Period____ Date________ Earth Model Project 100 Points (In Class Project) Materials needed: 1. Styrofoam ball (between 6-8 inches in diameter) 2. Paints (i.e. tempura paints ) (various colors) – NO water color 3. Mini paint brush(es) 4. Toothpicks, pins, or glue to secure each label 5. Anything else needed to make an incredible Earth Model 6. Base for Earth Model (optional) Directions: 1. Buy any/all necessary materials 2. Cut out continents from the world map and trace onto styrofoam ball. 3. Paint continents and oceans (must be to scale). Outline the continents to make them defined. 4. Let paint dry. 5. Cut styrofoam ball in half VERTICAL from north pole to south pole. 6. Use figures 1 & 2 on pages 190-1 to paint the inside of the Earth Model. One side will be the Chemical Composition and the other side will be the Physical Properties 7. Let paint dry. 8. TYPE necessary vocabulary words, print, and label each of the following: Crust Mesosphere Mantle Outer core Core Inner core Lithosphere All 7 continents asthenosphere All 4 oceans 9. Create a base (no bigger than 8x10) to be able to display the Earth Model (optional). 10. Label your heading (last name, first name, period, date, Mrs. Geidel’s Class) and place it on Los Angeles. 11. Do not glue the Earth Model to the base. It should be able to slide off easily to display. 12. You MUST do something unique/creative for your project. Extra Credit Options: Do something to the project that goes above and beyond what is expected (varies on extra credit points based on creativity) Show how earthquake waves Show which layers have travel through the earth convection currents What are the layers made of?
