1. ANSWER: layer cake, hard boiled egg, parfait, apple, cantaloupe
2. for organization, to keep things separate, (accept any reasonable answer)

9. A1: A person walks 10 kilometers (km) in 2 hours (h), what is the average speed?
A. 2 km/h
Speed is distance/time, so this person’s speed is 5km/h.
B. 5 km/h
C. 10 km/h
D. 20 km/h
SC8.2.2.a DOK 2

10. A2: What is the distance traveled by a car in 5 hours (h) if its speed is 35km/h?
A. 7 km
If the car travels 35 km each hour for 5 hours, the total distance traveled would be 175 km (35 x 5)
B. 150 km
C. 175 km
D km

14. Layers of the Earth Foldable Notes 1
Begin by cutting out the layers of the earth.
Take two pieces of 8 x 11 of colored paper

15. Layers of the Earth Foldable Notes 2
Paste the crust picture close to the top of the first paper in the center of the page.
Set the second piece of paper on top of the first below the crust.

16. Layers of the Earth Foldable Notes 3
Paste the mantle on the second piece of paper close to the crust.
Carefully line up the mantle and the crust and fold the bottom of the top sheet of paper to about ¼ inch below the bottom of the mantle picture.

17. Layers of the Earth Foldable Notes 4
Paste the outer core on the third flap down so that it is under the mantle.
Fold the bottom sheet of paper up so that the edge meets the bottom of the outer core.

18. Layers of the Earth Foldable Notes 5
Finally paste the inner core to the bottom flap.
Once complete staple across the bottom of the foldable.

19. Layers of the Earth Foldable Notes 6
Color the following parts:
Inner core =red
Outer core = red orange
Lower Mantle = orange
Middle Mantle = light orange
Upper Mantel = yellow
Oceanic Crust = dark brown
Continental Crust = light brown
Ocean = blue

20. Layers of the Earth Foldable Notes 7
Next label the layers of the Earth. Starting at the bottom:
The Earth’s Layers (right side)
Inner Core
Outer Core
Lower Mantle
Mesosphere (right side)
Convection currents
Middle mantle (left side)
Asthenosphere (right side)
Upper mantle
Oceanic Crust
Lithosphere (right side)
Continental Crust
Crust (right side)

21. Layers of the Earth Foldable Notes 8
On the bottom “inner core flap” you will need to add an extra flap.
Take a small strip of paper and fold it in half. Glue the back side of the new piece to the lower left corner.
On the inside label
Inner Core:
Composition
Thickness
State of Matter
Teachers- it would be helpful to have these strips premade. They are approximately 2” x 4” students can cut them down if need be.

22. Layers of the Earth Foldable Notes 9
Continue to add on each flap the same information beginning with the outer core, mantel and crust.
Composition:
Thickness
States of Matter
Make sure that this information is kept below the flap but located on the upper left hand side of the paper.
Students will then find this information on their own using the text book.

23. Exit slip: list the layers of the earth, starting with the layer that you are standing on.
