Lesson Plan in Science 6
I. OBJECTIVE
Describe each layer of the earth.
II. SUBJECT MATTER
A. Topic: Layers of the Earth
B. References: Science and Health Grade 6 pp.275-279
C. Science Concepts: Earth’s layers are the crust, the mantle and the core.
The crust is the outermost layer of the earth composed of a variety of loose solid rocks, like a
skin of igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks.
The mantle which lies beneath the crust is composed of solid rocks and hot molten rocks.
The core is hottest layer of the earth.

2. Motivation:
i. Miners and oil drillers have drilled into the earth but none of them has dug deeper than a few
thousand meters. If you are one of those, what will you do?

Beneath our Feet:
c. The top and bottom layers of the mantle are the thickest parts.
d. Peanut butter sandwiches feel like the hard rocks found in the mantle.
____________________________________________________________________________________________
________________ The inner core of the Earth is about the nine hundred degrees Fahrenheit.
________________ The inner core of the Earth is made of liquid iron and nickel.
________________ The Earth's mantle lies directly below the inner core.
5. Explain how scientists believe the Earth's four layers were formed.

*Activity Sheet
Clay
Tissue paper
III. Procedures:
1. Get a small metal ball or a bearing. Feel how heavy it is. This will be your core.
2. Take a piece of clay about seven times the volume of the metal ball. Feel how heavy it is. This will be your
mantle.
3. Take a piece of clay equivalent to about 1/17 of the clay you will use as mantle. Make a very thin layer out of this
clay by spreading and pressing it on the floor. Once it is about paper thin, get an equivalent volume of tissue
paper. This will be your crust. Feel how light it is.
4. Out of these three kinds of materials, make the model of the earth: Then, make a horizontal circle embracing
the mid-portion of your model.
5. Make another vertical circle, crossing the horizontal circle. Now you can determine the fourth part of your
model. Carve it away but do not take out the metal ball.
6. Now, label the layers of the earth.
