    Activity No. 2 Egg-Cellent Earth I. Objective

    Uploaded by

    Klarissa Lomibao
    This document describes an activity where students model the structure of the Earth using a hard boiled egg. Students crack the eggshell to represent the Earth's crust and outer layers. They then cut the egg in half to reveal the yolk in the center representing the Earth's core. By comparing a cut egg to images of the Earth's internal layers, students identify how each part of the egg maps to a layer inside our planet, such as the yolk representing the Earth's iron-nickel core. In small groups, students then discuss alternative models for visualizing the Earth's structure and note the pros and cons of different analogies.

    Activity No. 2
    Egg-Cellent Earth
    I. Objective:
    Describe the eggshell and identify what part of the earth the eggshell represents.
    II. Materials:
    - hard-boiled egg paper plate
    - plastic knife marker
    III. Procedures:
    1. Crack the eggshell by gently rolling the egg against the table.
    a. describe the appearance of the eggshell
    _________________________________________________________________________.
    b. What are the parts of the earth the broken eggshell represents?
    _________________________________________________________________________
    2. Carefully cut the egg in half.
    3. Mark the center of the yolk with a dot using a marker.
    c. Which parts of the Earth interior are modelled by the cut egg?
    _________________________________________________________________________.
    d. Describe how the model demonstrates characteristics of these layers.
    ___________________________________________________________________________
    _______________________________________________________________________.
    4. Make an annotated sketch with actual parts of the egg labelled on the left side and the layers of
    the Earth they represent on the other side.
    5. Display (project a transparency of)a cross section of the Earth’s layers to compare with the egg
    model.
    6. Complete the table by identify the similarities and differences between the egg model and the
    corresponding layers of the Earth.
    Parts/sub-parts Differences Similarities

    IV. Application:
    Devise an alternative analogy for the internal structure of the Earth. In a small group, you will
    discuss the limitations and strengths of each of these and write your observations.
