Activity:1
The students will divide into 5 groups. Each group will chooose two
materials specialists. Those people will need to prepare the following:

1) First, students will need the plastic baggie containing graham crackers
and sugar. Break the graham crackers with the sugar in the bag.

the baggie.
3) Now, take the graham crackers out and press the mixture on the sides
of the bowl to form the crust.
4) Now take the black cherry Jell-O and spoon it into the bowl that you
have put the crust in. Form it so there is a pocket in the middle left open.
5) Take the lemon Jell-O and put it in the bowl where you left the pocket,
but make sure you leave a hole in the middle for your raspberry Jell-O.
6) Finally, put the raspberry Jell-O in the center.
Guide Questions:
1. What have you observed?
2. Describe each layer.
Note: Teacher may use an Apple or Avocado fruit to illustrate the layers
of the Earth.

Summary: As you dig down the temperature and pressure
increases from the Crust to the Inner Core. The thicker layer is the
Mantle; the differences in density in the mantle cause it to flow
slowly forming convection currents. The upper Mantle is cooler
than the lower Mantle. The Outer Core is the only liquid layer of the
Earth.
