5 Read It! Read It! Station Directions Each member of the group will read the passage and answer the questions from the task cards on the lab sheet in the Read It! section. It is important to remember that the answers will come directly from the reading passage.
6 Read It! The Layers of the Earth What s beneath your feet right now? Carpet? Tile? A concrete sidewalk? Grass, dirt, and leaves? No matter what you re standing on right now, you re standing at the tip of the iceberg, so to speak. Whether you realize it or not, there are thousands of miles of Earth below your feet made up of all sorts of materials, including soil, rock, rivers of water, volcanic lava, and solid iron to name just a few. If you ve ever dug a hole in your backyard, you know that digging can be a lot of work. It can be fun, though, to see what lies below the surface. Your hole probably consisted mainly of dirt and possibly a few rocks along the way. The deeper you dig, the harder it is to see to the bottom of the hole you re digging. Unless you climb down into the hole, it also gets harder to dig the deeper you go. That s why people who dig holes for a living, such as coal mines and water wells, use specialized equipment that allows them to dig really deep holes. Even the deepest coal mines and water wells, though, barely scratch the surface of what lies beneath Earth s outer layer, called the crust. How do scientists know how hot Earth s core is? They can t see it. They can t dig down deep enough to use a thermometer to measure its temperature. Despite the fact it's right under our feet, Earth s core is inaccessible. Earth s core is about the size of Pluto. Given the thousands of miles of rock and other materials that separate those of us on the surface from the core, it might as well be as far away as Pluto! How can we really know anything about it? Modern scientists have come up with ingenious ways to study Earth s layers. Geologists, for example, have long used seismic waves to learn about what lies below Earth s surface. seismic waves are the types of waves produced by earthquakes and other tectonic plate movements that occur below Earth s surface. By measuring seismic waves, scientists can learn a lot about the composition of Earth s subsurface layers. Because the layers are made up of different materials that vary in thickness, researchers are able to analyze the ways in which seismic waves bounce off the boundaries between various layers.
7 Read It! #1 How do scientists know how hot the core is? A. Thermometers B. Seismic waves C. Oil wells D. Measure the electromagnetic spectrum Read It! #2 What would be the best title for this passage? A. How Scientists Explore the Inside of Earth B. Details about Each of the Earth s Layers C. Tectonic Plate Mania D. The Rock Cycle Read It! #3 The Earth s core is about the size of. Read It! #4 The deepest wells and holes can make it to which layer? A. Saturn B. Pluto C. The United States D. New York City A. Crust B. Mantle C. Inner Core D. Outer Core
8 Watch It! Watch It! Station Directions Each member of the group will go to the website listed on task card #1 Complete the task cards in order. Every student will answer the questions from the task cards on the lab sheet in the Watch It! section of the lab sheet.
9 Watch It! #1 YouTube G Drive Both URL s are case-sensitive Watch It! #2 1. Click Play on the video. 2. Answer questions from cards #2-4 on your lab sheet. How far have humans been able to drill into the Earth? YouTube Watch It! #3 Watch It! #4 What scientific principle causes the different layers of the Earth? What two elements are found in the inner core? Solid or liquid?
10 Research It! Research It! Station Directions Each member of the group will go to the website listed on task card #1 Complete the task cards in order. Every student will answer the questions from the task cards on the lab sheet in the Research It! section.
11 Research It! #1 Research It! #2 1. Go to 2. Click through each of the layers and listen to the information about each layer. 3. Answer the questions on the following cards. 1. What is the average thickness of the Earth's crust? 2. What causes the lithosphere to move? Research It! #3 1. Which layer of the Earth contains convection currents? 2. Compare the density of the outer core to the density of the crust, mantle, and inner core.
12 Explore It! Explore It! Station Directions One member of the group will read the task cards in order. The group will be responsible for completing each of the tasks that are being read. Each member of the group will then write their conclusions down on the lab sheet in the Explore It! section.
13 Explore It! #1 Explore It! #2 Layer 1 is called the Earth s crust. It is the thinnest layer and made up of mostly granite and basalt. 1. Look at the model provided for you and answer the questions about the layers of the Earth on your lab sheet. If you think about the outer layer of an apple, the Earth s crust would be compared to that. 1. Do you think this is the densest layer or least dense layer? Why? Layer 2 is called the Earth s mantle. It is the thickest layer and made up of mostly magma, which is lava within the Earth. There are convection currents in the mantle that cause the tectonic plates to move as the heat flows. Explore It! #3 Explore It! #4 Layer 3 is called the Earth s outer core. It is made up of mostly liquid Iron and Nickel. Scientists believe the magnetic properties of the Earth are caused by this layer of the Earth. 2. Why do you think we know very little about the mantle? 3. Why do you think the outer core is liquid and the inner core is solid?
14 Explore It! #5 Layer 4 is called the Earth s inner core. It is made up of solid Iron and Nickel. It is the densest layer of the Earth. Even though it s as hot as the surface of the Sun, it is solid. 4. How do you think scientists are able to study the center of the Earth?
