This learning resource focuses on the structure of Earth's interior, including its layers and the differences between continental and oceanic crusts. Students will learn to identify the four main layers of the Earth, labeling them based on their states (solid, liquid, or plastic). They will compare the attributes of continental and oceanic crusts, categorizing rocks and minerals based on their characteristics and formation. The resource includes interactive tasks like labeling diagrams, categorization exercises for rocks and minerals, and building a model of the Earth’s layers using various materials. Additionally, a challenge task is offered to stimulate advanced thinking regarding the long-term cooling of Earth's interior and its impact on the crust.
