NewPath Structure of the Earth 3-D Paper Model Making Kit - Individual Student Edition (24-7814)

Models are powerful tools for teaching Science as they provide useful simplifications of structures and processes, helping make the unseen visible and the complex simple! Using the ready-to-use materials provided, students first assemble a model to represent the Structure of the Earth that can be used to make predications and communicate their findings to others. Understanding the interior of our planet provides a great starting point for the study of Earth Science! Using the colorful templates provided, your students will start by build a model of the Earth. They’ll next they use their model to study the Earth's structure. They will also use the model to look at how the Earth's interior can be divided by both chemical composition and physical properties. The model covers oceanic crust, continental crust, upper mantle, lower mantle, lithosphere, asthenosphere, outer core and inner core. Includes enough materials for an individual student to work alone or 2 students to work cooperatively to assemble a paper model. Also includes a comprehensive background information providing opportunities for students to Engage, Explore, Explain, Extend and Evaluate their understanding of the concept. Satisfies NGSS Standards which encourage students to develop & use models to represent structures, systems & processes. Perfect for use at home, in the classroom or lab.
