Yesterday we made it through the "silly putty" Asthenosphere and now have reached the largest layer of the earth: the Mesosphere. We will explore the mesosphere and convection today.

As we continue moving down into the Earth we are met today by the Asthenosphere. If the Lithosphere is the cookie part of an Oreo then the "white stuff" is the asthenosphere. We are also going to introduce a new vocabulary term "convection".

Our first stop on our "Race to the Core" is the top layer, the Lithosphere. Today we are going to learn how to take notes along with introducing this first layer.

Today you are going begining our journey to the center of the Earth. No, this not going to be about that lame Brendan Fraiser movie! Instead we are going to see what is the Earth really like on the inside!
