When it all began… 4.5 billion years ago, the Earth was in a fluid state. As the Earth began to cool, the materials began to separate because of their densities. What do you think happened to the more dense materials during the separation? What about the less dense materials?

When it all began… This separation of materials created the layers we know exist within the Earth today!

Why does the Earth have layers? Stop and Jot

When it all began… Scientists have found that the best way to classify these layers is in two ways – the chemical composition and the physical properties. How might we describe the chemical composition? What would be some physical properties?

Chemical or Physical? The thickness of a layer. Physical

Chemical or Physical? The temperature of a layer. Physical

Chemical or Physical? The elements the layer is made of. Chemical

Chemical or Physical? The state of matter of the layer. Physical

Chemical Composition When classifying the layers by their chemical composition, there are three distinct layers. The crust, the mantle, and the core. CRUST MANTLE CORE Follow along on pages

Crust CRUST The layer we live on. Found on the outside of the Earth. Made up of lighter elements. Oxygen Silicon Aluminum Calcium CRUST Follow along on pages

Mantle MANTLE Found in the middle of the Earth. Made up of elements with more density than the crust. Oxygen Silicon Magnesium Iron CRUST MANTLE Follow along on pages

Core CORE Found in the very center of the Earth. Made up of the most dense elements. Iron Nickel CRUST MANTLE CORE Follow along on pages

Example We can think of these layers like a hard boiled egg or an apple. What do you think would be considered the crust? What do you think would be considered the mantle? What do you think would be considered the core?

Physical Properties When classifying the layers by their physical properties, there are five distinct layers. The lithosphere, the asthenosphere, the mantle, the outer core, and the inner core. Follow along on pages

The Lithosphere LITHOSPHERE Includes the crust and the uppermost portion of the mantle. Thickness of the Crust: 5-70 km State of Matter: Solid LITHOSPHERE Follow along on pages

The Asthenosphere ASTHENOSPHERE Lies just below the lithosphere. Does not extend very deep into the upper mantle. State of Matter: Solid – but has a plastic feel that allows it to flow like silly putty. LITHOSPHERE ASTHENOSPHERE Follow along on pages

The Mantle MANTLE Thickness: 2900 km Temperature: °C State of Matter: Solid – but has a plastic feel that allows it to flow like silly putty. LITHOSPHERE ASTHENOSPHERE MANTLE Follow along on pages

The Outer Core OUTER CORE Thickness: 2250 km Temperature: °C State of Matter: Liquid LITHOSPHERE ASTHENOSPHERE MANTLE OUTER CORE Follow along on pages

The Inner Core INNER CORE Thickness: 1280 km Temperature: 6000 °C State of Matter: Solid LITHOSPHERE ASTHENOSPHERE MANTLE OUTER CORE INNER CORE Follow along on pages

Guided Practice We’re going to make a foldable to portray the layers of the Earth that you’ll be able to take with you and use as a reference. Everyone at your desk should be broken down into 1’s and 2’s. Everyone at your table will have different jobs so that everyone is not doing the same thing at the same time. 20 min
