The student will copy the diagram shown below by hand using coloured pencils. Students will apply a Header or Title and label the diagram completely. Name and date must be on the diagram also. Name on top right and date on top left.
 

1. Complete the following:
        The earth's interior seems to be layered by ___________, with the ____________ stuff in the center, and the ____________material at the surface.

2. Complete the following:
        "The earth probably looks a lot like a hard boiled egg if you could cut it open. The yellow stuff in the center (the yolk) relates to what we call the ________. Most geophysicists think that the _______is composed of high density materials like iron and nickel. The egg's shell is like the earth's crust - a thin veneer of rigid, low density material at the surface. And all the white stuff in between is like the earth's __________ - the largest layer which, in the case of the earth, is of medium density, and, in the case of an egg, tastes best with a bit of salt and pepper."

3. Complete the following:
        "The core seems to be in two parts - a "________" inner core with a "_________" outer layer - and is the final resting place for as much of the high density material as can get there. The crust is REAL thin relative to the size of the earth - much, much thinner than an eggshell, and is of much lower density than the core. It is probable that the mantle represents the vast majority of the earth's mass which is still trying to figure out if it is heavy enough to be accepted at the core, or is lower in density and therefore has to float about on the surface with the rest of the scum."
