A blank cross-section of the Earth with an empty box at the end of each leader line and a word bank of the six layers underneath. Children write continental crust, oceanic crust, upper mantle, lower mantle, outer core and inner core in the right boxes. The depth ruler stays on the page as a clue, and the answer key on page two shows every label in red.
Warm up with the label quiz in the interactive layers of the Earth, then try this sheet on paper. For a harder version without a word bank, print the numbered layers of the Earth diagram.
Tips for using it
- Start at the center and work outward, or start at the surface and dig down.
- Ask which layer is liquid; only the outer core is.
