Today we explore the link between a groovy lava lamp and the earth largest layer the mesosphere. We will explore a new and important term, Convection.

We are going to create posters that describe each layer of the earth. We are then looking more indepth at the inner and outer core. Each layer is hot enough to be a liquid but the only the outer core is. Why? We are going to see this occuring.

Scientist like to make things complicated. Instead of layers like layer 1,2,3.. they choose words like Lithosphere, Asthenosphere, and Mesosphere. Today we are going learn the names of the layers of the Earth and show creative ways to remember them.

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!

The Dinosaurs are here and we will explore them. This is the last day of our unit on Geologic History as well as the last day of the 1st Trimester.
