Formula to calculate density
What is Mass ÷ Volume?
The thinnest and outermost layer of the Earth
Ranging from about -90 to 700°C, this is the coolest layer of the Earth
What is the Crust?
This is what determines the order that materials settle in if they are mixed together in a container (or a planet).
What is their density?
This is the term for a representation of something that helps us understand that thing better.
What is a model or scientific model?
The amount of matter in an object (measured in grams)
What is mass?
The second layer down and thickest layer of the Earth
What is the Mantle?
The temperature of this layer is about 5,430°C, similar to the surface of the Sun!
What is the Inner Core?
This is the order of Earth's layers from most dense to least dense.
What is inner core, outer core, mantle, crust?
Name something that must be less dense than vegetable oil based on this picture.
What is Soda Cap, Rubbing Alcohol, Lamp Oil, or Ping Pong Ball?
The amount of space something takes up (measured in milliliters or cubic centimeters)
What is Volume?
The hottest, most dense layer of the Earth
This is what we call hot material rising while cool material sinks
What is convection or a convection current?
The order these substances would settle in (from bottom to top) if put in a jar together:
* Vegetable Oil (density= 0.78 g/mL)
* Corn Syrup (density= 1.4 g/mL)
* Water (density= 1 g/mL)
What is corn syrup, water, vegetable oil?
Name something that must be more dense than 100% Maple Syrup based on this image:
What is Popcorn Kernel, Corn Syrup, Honey, or Bolt?
How compact the matter in an object is (measured in grams per milliliter or grams per cubic centimeter)
What is Density?
This layer made of liquid metal is thought to be responsible for Earth's magnetic field
What is the Outer Core?
This layer is hot enough that it is a liquid even though it is made mostly of nickel and iron
What is the Outer Core?
This is the order of Earth's layers from least dense to most dense.
What is crust, mantle, outer core, inner core?
This is the item that must be MORE dense between a cherry tomato and a die.
What is a die?
What is 5 g/mL?
This is the layer where convection currents occur that move the tectonic plates above
What is the Mantle?
This is the name of the chunks of Earth's crust that move around slowly on top of the Mantle.
What is tectonic plates?
Put these items in order of density from most to least dense:
* Water
* Air
* Gravel
* Sand
What is gravel, sand, water, air?
This is the density of the red bouncy balls if together they have a mass of 10 grams. (Find their volume using the picture)
What is 5 grams per milliliter or 5 g/mL?
