Earth Science: Layers Week 1

Don't love this time of the year.  Things happen, illness happens, everything gets behind and I feel pressured to catch up and then no one is happy, but it is the cycle of our life at this time of the year, so I'm slowing down, sitting back and not forcing things.

Layers

Monday

• Read Planet Earth/Inside Out by Gail Gibbons.
• Complete Evan-Moor ScienceWorks for Kids: Geology, Grades 1-3 "The Earth Has Layers: Crust, Mantel, Core - Locate the Layer" activity and worksheet (page 6).

Tuesday

• Complete Evan-Moor ScienceWorks for Kids: Geology, Grades 1-3 "The Earth Has Layers: Crust, Mantel, Core - A Trip to the Center of the Earth" activity (page 7).

Not a lot of things to take pictures of this week, so please for give the text only post!

Giraffe was not entirely interested in learning about the different layers - so the clay/play dough models didn't happen - it's not her favourite medium so we worked with only the descriptions and the pictures in the Evan Moor book.
