    The document summarizes the structure of the Earth, including the rock cycle and its layers. It discusses the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core, and encourages adding notes to a diagram. It also introduces convection currents, which involve the movement of molten rock and are responsible for moving tectonic plates due to intense heat. Students are directed to activities explaining convection currents and plate tectonics in more detail.

     The rock cycle

     Showing how igneous rock


    are made

     Showing how sedimentary


    rocks are made

    What is the structure of the earth?

    Watch the video on slide 5 to know what each of the layers is called and get to know their
    characteristics. Add notes to your diagram below!

    crust

    Outer core

    The mantle

    Inner core

    What is a convection current?

    What is a convection current and how do they move tectonic plates? (use the videos on slide 10-11
    to help you).
    Its when the molten rock(magma) moves the tectonic plates. How this happens is because the
    intense heat
