Density
This is the amount of matter in an object.
What is Mass
This is the farthest that we have dug into our planet.
What is approximately 12 km?
This is the least dense layer in the Earth
What is the Crust
This is the substance that Earth's crust is made of.
What is rocks?
This is using your senses to gather information.
What are observations?
If you are changing the size of something (the space it takes up) you are actually changing this.
What is Volume?
Drilling of the Kola Superdeep Bore Hole had to stop because of this.
This is the most dense layer in the Earth
What is the Inner Core
This is the substance that Earth's inner core is made out of.
What is Solid Iron?
This is your best guess based on what you know.
What is an Inference?
This is the definition for Density.
What is the amount of mass in a given volume?
If you go deeper into the earth, the density of the material will do This.
What is increase.
This layer is less dense than the inner core, but more dense than the mantle
What is the outer core
This is the material that the mantle is made out of.
What is very dense rock?
This type of variable is what is changed by the scientist.
What is an Independent Variable?
If the volume of an object stays the same and the mass is increased then THIS will happen.
What is the density will increase?
This layer is the deepest layer that we have drilled through.
What is the crust.
This layer of the earth is more dense than the crust, but less dense than the outer core
What is the mantle
This layer of Earth is the only layer that is liquid.
What is the Outer Core
This type of variable is kept the same on purpose.
What are controlled variables?
This is the the density of an object that has a mass of 10g and a volume of 5ml.
What is 2 g/ml?
One way we know what the interior of our planet is like is by looking at the bending of these.
What are seismic waves
This describes the density of the mantle compared to its surrounding layers.
What is more dense than the crust and less dense that the core
This layer of Earth is made of semi-solid rock.
What is the Mantle?
This type of prediction for an experiment is usually written in an If.. then.. because format.
What is a hypothesis?
