Today we looked at the different layers of the Earth. We model made our own Earth to show all of the layers.  We first made the inner core which we now know is the hottest layer of the earth reaching over 5000 degrees C! We used play dough to then layer the outer core, mantle, and earth’s crust before adding on earth and water. We then compared the layers of the Earth to a peach. We looked at the inside of a peach and imagined the peach’s stone was the Earth’s core, the surrounding soft bit of the peach is like the Earth’s mantle filled with Magna and finally the skin is like the Earth’s crust.
