4. Step 3 Cut out the Four Small Squares…
And the 12 small labels ( all the words)
Remember to Cut out the Title : The Earth’s Layers
Keep all your trash on your desk in a neat pile.
(We will come around to the desks to pick up trash)
Now Set all these labels in one neat pile on your desk and don’t loose them….I will not give you a new sheet because you lost one piece …

5. Step 4 Folding time….listen carefully
Take one sheet of paper and orient it vertically (long way up) …see teacher
At the top left corner glue the title: The Earth’s Layers.
Right below the title but centered glue the picture of the Crust….see teacher

6. Step 5
Take the second sheet of paper and place it on top of the first sheet of paper but right below the crust….see teacher
Now paste the picture of the Mantle on the second sheet of paper…try to center the picture so it aligns with the picture of the Crust.

7. Step 6
Now for this step I need your full attention…You have to look at me for it to make sense…so as I say the instructions make sure you are looking at what I am doing…otherwise your going to be lost.
Carefully line up the side of your papers and hold them tight.
Fold up the bottom of both papers to about ¼ inch below the bottom of the Mantle.
Staple the fold with two staples very close to the edge.

8. Step 7
Now glue all the labels in the correct place on your foldable….use your textbook or class notes as a guide…if in doubt…ask your teacher before you glue them down.
