Science Project - Due: 10/11
Make a 3 dimensional model of the Earth's layers. Be creative. You can use clay, playdough, paper mache, or any other material you want. Label each part. Neatness counts.
You must also hand in an index card or paper that lists the steps you used to create your project. The steps must be in the proper sequence. Use some of the time-order words that we are learning in class (ex: First, Next, After that, Finally,).
Here are some links to help with ideas. You do not have to do one of these; however it must be 3-dimensional (not flat).

A rubric is provided on the back of the direction sheet that outlines how the project will be graded. This includes following the project directions, being on time, neatness, and accuracy. Please contact me with any questions.
