We are in the middle of our earth science unit (pictures to come soon) and one of the things we did was use homemade playdough to model earth's layers. The kids wanted the recipe I used, so I am attaching it for use with adult supervision.
Here are some pictures of the labs and activities that we completed during the Earth Science unit. Our Earth Science TEST is on October 25. It will include earth layers, tectonic plates movement, and rocks and minerals.
 |
| We used mapping to prove the movement of the tectonic plates include create of earth's features (including ocean basins, mountains, and trenches). |
 |
| Hot chocolate convection currents - we used heat to create convection currents to move the crust of the hot chocolate. |
 |
| We also used heat with corn syrup to "move" the tectonic plates (lithospheric plates include oceanic and continental crust) |
 |
| We used handmade playdough to create 3-D models of the earth layers. |
 |
| Some classes created 3-D models of earth. |
