Layers of The Earth
Layers of The Earth
I. OBJECTIVES
At the end of lesson, 75 % of the students with at least 80% proficiency should be able to:
a. differentiate the external & internal divisions of the Earth;
b. classify the features if the internal parts of the Earth;
c. compare the egg layers to the Earth’s structure; and
d. illustrate the interior layers of the Earth.
Shape
Age
Color
gaseous part
liquid surface
solid part
C. Motivation
Directions: Do the activity by group. Have a brainstorming regarding the activity and answer the
questions on a ½ sheet of paper.
Egg-tivity Corner What does it look like?
1. Get a hard-boiled egg. Draw on ½ sheet of paper what you see in the
cut half of the hard-boiled egg and color the
layers differently.
2. Cut into half.
3. Look carefully if the egg you cut has 3-4
layers.
4. Notice that when you peel off the shell,
there is a very thin seems like a plastic layer.
5. Compare the thickness of each layer. Now, Compare these egg layers to the Earth’s
structure if we view its inside part.
D. Sarya Words
Directions: Arrange the jumbled letters to reveal the correct term used for the following
meanings.
1. EANOPHSTHESER – the plastic-like layer in the Earth’s mantle below the lithosphere.
2. ECRO – it is the innermost and the hottest layer of the Earth.
3. OLYGOES – it is the study of Earth’s history and physical nature.
4. HIPSOELTHRE – it is the solid part of the Earth which composes about 29.2 % of the
surface.
5. OHMO – (Mohorivicic Discontinuity) it is the boundary between the mantle and crust.
E. Lesson Proper
F. Application
Directions:
1. Group the class into 2 groups.
2. Using the following materials (styro balls, paints, and cutter), make a miniature structure
of the Earth with the 3 main internal divisions.
G. Generalization
Directions: Using the first and second activity, two (2) representatives from each group will
present their ideas and concepts regarding the difference between the structure of the egg and the
miniature structure of the Earth.
QUESTIONS
i. What if the Earth were made of one solid crust and not divided into plates?
ii. What if the Earth were a flat circular disk?
iii. What if ½ of the crust were pure solid and the other half were pure liquid?
iv. What if the Earth had no atmosphere?
