Mr. Mathews 6th Grade Earth Science

Poster Requirements:

  1. You will be required to create a poster of the inside of the earth.
  2. This poster must include an illustration of the inside of the earth (not a picture printed out). Please refer to the rubric to determine the appropriate size of your picture.
  3. Your illustration must be colored and as neat as you can make it.
  4. Each layer must be labeled with the correct name of that layer along with the temperature, depth, and composition of each layer.
  5. You will only be required to draw and label the four main layers, but you will receive more points if you include more specific layers along with the same information from above.
  6. The information you provide must be in complete sentences in a paragraph and NOT in list format. You may
  7. Your poster will require a title. You can be creative with your title or not so creative, but refer to your rubric to determine the size of your title.
  8. You may handwrite out all of your labels and paragraphs of information or you may type them out and cut and paste to your poster. You may not get information from another website and print that information off to use it.

Model Requirements:

  1. Instead of drawing the inside of the earth, you may be a little more creative and create a 3D version of the earth and its insides.
  2. If you choose this, you will still be responsible for including all the above information.

PROJECT DUE DATE: Monday 1/14/08 unless an extension needs to be given. I will tell you if that is the case, if not they will be due Monday!
