We did this edible lab to show what the earths layers look like. Our materials were a grahm cracker marshmellow fluff a chocalate bar and a molten ball. I used the grahm cracker for the crust. I did this because it is very thin just like the crust. Next I used the marshmellow fluff for the outer mantle. I did this because the outer mantle is very gooey and I also did it because the marshmellow fluff represents melted rock. I used the chocalate bar as the inner mantle. I did this because the inner coer consists of solid iron and the chocalate bar represents that. For the outer and inner core I used the molten ball. The outside of the molten ball represents the outer core. It represents this because the outside of the molten ball is melted just like the outer core. The inside of the molten ball represents the inner core. It represents this because the inner core is solid ball just like the inside of the molten ball.



I did a edible lab on the three boundaries convergent divergent and transform. I used a milky way bar to show the boundaries. I pulled the milky way apart to represent the transform boundaries. This boundary can cause earthquakes and other things. I pulled the milky way back together to cause a convergent boundary. This boundary can cause mountains and volcanoes. The final boundary is a transform boundary. I slide the halfs past each other to cause the transform boundary. This boundary can cause a earthquake and a volcano and other things.

SIX VOLCANO FACTS!!! 1.Occur when two tectonic plates meet. 2. Erupt because gases are trapped deep inside the earth. 3. When they stop erupting they form a cardarar. 4. Shield volcano forms when the lava flows down the side really fast. 5. Cindercone volcanos erupts explovisely. 6.Stratacone volcano is tall cemectric and cone shaped.

8 MORE FACTS ABOUT VOLCANOES 1. What are the differences between magma and lava? Lava is outside the volcano and magma is inside the volcano. 2.What are pyroclastic materials? Are they dangerous? Pyroclastic materials are ashes and lava and gases. They are very dangerous because the gases are very poison and the lava and ashes are very hot. 3. What is the ring of fire? Why is it so significant? the ring of fire is a bunch of volcanos on the pacific plate. It is significant because it is one third of the earths volcanos. 4.Why do people live near volcanoes despite the obvious dangers? They live there because the soil is good for farming. 5.What warning signs do volcanologists search for when trying to predict a volcanic eruptions? 6. What tools do volcanologists use in their study of volcanoes? They use a tilt meter. 7. Identify and compare the different types of magma. Some magma is gowe some runs alot and some is solid.

Today I learned about different parts of the solar system. I learned the order of the planets. They are sun, mercury, Venus , earth , mars , Jupiter ,Saturn , Uranus , Neptune and Pluto. I also learned that the sun takes up 98 percent of the spaces mass. these are just a few things I learned you can learn alot more by researching this topic.
