Layers of the Earth folding science craft activity

Introduce the layers of the Earth and their properties to your students with this science craft activity. A fun alternative to a worksheet, students will organize the labels on their template to show the 4 layers of the Earth (crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core) before assembling and folding.

The templates

• Template 1: Students color the Earth and layers, then arrange the layer names, pictures, and descriptions on the template, before assembling and folding.
• Template 2: Students color the Earth and layers, then arrange the layer pictures and descriptions on the template, before assembling and folding.
• Template 3: Students color the Earth and layers, write a short description of each layer on the template, before assembling and folding. Due to space, bullet points work well for this.

What else is included?

• 1-page reading passages outlining the properties of the 4 layers.
• Word search for early finishers.
