3D Earth Model and Layers of The Earth Worksheet-Due October 12

This document contains information about assignments on earth science topics that are due in October. Students must create a 3D model of the Earth labeled with the inner core, outer core, mantle and crust. They also need to complete a worksheet with facts about each layer and questions about plate tectonics. Finally, students will work in groups on a presentation about plate tectonics due at the end of the month.
