Description

Models are powerful tools for teaching science as they provide useful simplifications of structures and processes, helping to make the unseen seen and the complex simple.

Understanding the interior of our planet provides a great starting point for the study of Earth Science! Using the colorful templates provided, your students will start by build a model of the Earth. They’ll next they use their model to study the Earth's structure. They will also use the model to look at how the Earth's interior can be divided by both chemical composition and physical properties.

The model covers oceanic crust, continental crust, upper mantle, lower mantle, lithosphere, asthenosphere, outer core and inner core.

The Model Making Kit includes enough materials for students to assemble up to 5 paper models working cooperatively. The comprehensive Teacher Resource Guide included provides illustrated readings, activities, key vocabulary and an assessment, along with teaching opportunities for students to Engage, Explore, Explain, Extend and Evaluate their understanding of the concepts presented.
