Six numbered pins mark the layers of the Earth, and children write each layer's name on the matching line with no word bank. It works as a quick quiz after a lesson or as review before a test. The answer key shows the numbers and the names together.

For more practice first, children can use the label quiz and the "Order it" quiz in the interactive layers of the Earth, or the layers of the Earth worksheet with its word bank.

Tips for using it

  • Give a bonus point for writing whether each layer is solid or liquid.
  • Older students can add each layer's approximate depth from the explorer's table.

Questions

How is this different from the layers of the Earth worksheet?

This version has numbered pins and answer lines and no word bank, so children must recall every layer. The worksheet version has boxes on the diagram and a word bank.

Can I use it as a test?

Yes. Print it with the answer key turned off for students and keep the key page for grading.
