LAYERS OF THE EARTH To be used with RRR song “Layers of the Earth”

LYRICS

Chorus

Throw your hands up for the layers of the earth Throw ‘em up for what's below the surface Throw your hands up, and let's discuss The inner core, outer core, mantle, and crust Verse I

The layer we’ll discuss first Is the central inner core, in the center of the earth A solid ball buried below the dirt We believe it’s primarily metallic iron You could never take a trip to the inner core, right? The heat will burn you up, 9,000º Fahrenheit 4,000 miles below the Earth’s crust One down three to go y’all. 1,800 miles from the tip top The outer core is hard at work and it don’t stop. It’s busy spinning around the inner core, and listen, This steady movement causes Earth’s magnetism. Ranging from 4 to 9,000 degrees, It contributes 1/5 of the heat flowin’ to you and me. It’s liquid metals that violently flow So let it settle… and when you’re ready let me know. Just… Chorus

Throw your hands up for the layers of the earth Throw ‘em up for what's below the surface Throw your hands up, and let's discuss The inner core, outer core, mantle, and crust Verse II

The mantle layer is the largest of the class. About half of our planet’s mass. The mantel is composed of very hot dense rocks, That move and flow, always on the go, they never lock,


LYRICS…………..Layers of the Earth……………………………………..continued

Never stop, and they’re responsible for tectonic shift Please believe the Earth’s plates are adrift It’s pretty thick and the heat is awesome 1,600 at the top, 4,000 at the bottom The continental crust’s surface is where we breathe A lot of rock up to 25 miles deep. The oceanic crust is next door It’s 3-5 miles thick just below the ocean floor. Earth's surface: 70% H20. Where do you get all that water? Salty sea flow, fresh water’s in the glaciers, ice caps, and snow. Chorus

Throw your hands up for the layers of the earth Throw ‘em up for what's below the surface Throw your hands up, and let's discuss The inner core, outer core, mantle, and crust

Circle the letter or answer that you think is correct, or write your own answer in the space designated “‘other”. Use the RRR lyric sheet to help you find your answers.

TERMS - WHAT DO THEY MEAN? 1. What does Fahrenheit measure? C. Temperature

2. If Fahrenheit uses a scale to measure, what is the unit of measure called? B. degree

3. The term ‘tectonic shift’ refers to what earthly event? A. moving of the earth’s plates (the theory of plate tectonics, meaning “plate structure”, explains the movement

or shifting of the Earth’s plates. At the boundaries of the plates, they interact and

slip, collide or shift as they separate from one another).

4. Parts of the earth are called the inner and outer core(s). Why do you think the term ‘core is used? C. because they are located at the center of the earth.

5. The song refers to the continental ‘crust’ and the oceanic ‘crust’. Why do you think they are called a crust rather than a core? D. because they are the thinnest and are on the outside of the earth.

EVENTS - WHAT’S GOING ON? 6. What events occur in the earth’s mantle that do not occur in any other part of the earth? C. tectonic plate shifts can happen

7. The song refers to magnetism being produced by what event? D. the steady movement of the outer core around the inner core (the outer core is primarily iron as is the inner core, and it is generally accepted

that the Earth’s magnetic field is probably caused by the inherent properties of its

molten iron core. This magnetic field is aligned with the north and south poles.)

8. What ongoing event contributes 20% of the earth’s surface heat? A. the heat being continually generated from the outer core through

the mantle onto the earth’s surface. (Heat is being conducted by a process called convection from the hot outer core

through the mantle into the cooler outer mantle and into the crust)

16. Which is the coolest part of the earth? D. the continental and oceanic crust

17. What is a unique characteristic of the earth’s mantle? A. it is responsible for tectonic shifts

18. If the earth gets most of its water from the ‘salty’ sea, how des the ‘fresh’ water get into the glaciers and ice caps? B. it comes from the sky in the form of snow (Glaciers are slowing moving masses of ice formed by compacted layers of snow.

Glacier ice is the largest reservoir of fresh water on earth covering vast areas of

polar regions and mountain ranges)

19. How many major sections of the earth’s interior are there? C. 4 (There are a number of subsections as well, but we are only dealing with the

major ones here)

20. What important natural element exists in the inner core of the earth that contributes to the outer core magnetism? D. metallic iron (metallic iron is iron in the state of the metal, as distinguished from its ores, can

also be known as magnetic iron.)

What’s the same and what’s different? There are three ways to heat things: radiation conduction and convection. Using the lyrics of the RRR song “Radiation, Conduction, Convection” Answer the following questions to help you understand similarities and differences. Circle the correct answer to each question

RADIATION – WHAT’S DIFFERENT 1. This form of heat energy comes to Earth from the sun moon planets clouds 2. It is transferred to Earth through water wavelengths only solid objects fire 3. radiant heat is typically found in empty space in water in mountains in bricks 4. When the earth ‘holds onto’ heat and releases it into the air it’s called burning cooling re-radiation temperature 5. An example of radiant heat on Earth would be standing in the sun on a still sunny day standing in the breezy shade on a hot day sitting on a metal chair in the sun on a hot day

CONVECTION – WHAT’S DIFFERENT 6. This form of heat energy is transferred only through solids/rocks gases/liquids trees/plants 7. It is transferred from one mass to another by movement of particles/molecules human physical activity animal fur



WORKSHEET………Radiation, Conduction, Convection…………Continued 8. Convection is used to measure Length/miles daylight/nighttime air pressure/temperature 9. An example of convection would be Standing in the sun on a still sunny day Standing in the breezy shade on a hot day Sitting on a metal chair in the sun on a hot day

CONDUCTION – WHAT’S DIFFERENT? 10. This form of heat energy is transferred most commonly through gases soil solid objects liquids 11. Conduction transfers heat by moving atoms from warmer to cooler cooler to warmer longer to shorter 12. An example of conduction would be Standing in the sun on a still sunny day Standing in the breezy shade on a hot day Sitting on a metal chair in the sun on a hot day

RADIATION, CONVECTION, CONDUCTION – WHAT’S THE SAME? 13. Each of these is a method of time transfer weight transfer heat transfer 14. Each disperses energy Forward/backward only vertically/horizontally only any/all directions 15. Each disperses energy by means of atoms and molecules moving outward moving inward remaining static

LYRICS

VERSE 1

We just begun so far, with the strum of guitar. So let me set it off and tell you that the Sun is a star in the center of the Solar System fillin' the void, along with comets and the planets and the asteroids, and meteoroids, and dust, but remember this fact, and if you do you'll be headin' to the head of the class. In fact, the sun makes up almost all of the weight of our solar system. Sun- it's 99.8 percent of it all, that means it’s one heck of a ball, the energy of the sun is supporting us all. Important to call it by its right name, you know what it is, energy from sunlight through photosynthesis. It benefits the flowers to get the sun's power. The Earth revolves once over 24 hours. Now it’s better to remember the length of a day so it doesn't matter if it's December or May. It's still the same. So don't be fooled in school, like a dunce, ‘cause in one year it takes Earth to spin around the Sun once. 12 months to orbit, just one time around it takes 365 days they found. So now you're primed, these numbers you'll remember in rhyme. The earths tilted on its side 23.5, degrees like a G who wanna lean in the ride. And it’s for this very reason we get seasons and tides.



LYRICS………………………….Sun, Earth, Moon…………………….continued

CHORUS/HOOK

We have the sun, the earth and the moon, spinnin’ around the other, with gravity too. The moon around the earth, the earth around the sun, giving us the reason for seasons for everyone. VERSE II

Back so soon, I’m bringing a few facts bout the moon, how it provides the ocean tides and stabilizes the room. But actually dude, though true, what is actually felt the moon stabilizes the whole axial tilt. So fasten your belt, ‘cause if you come along for the ride, you could fall or rise, like the level of tide. Forever you'll find that the moon and the earth are related, fatal like attraction as the tides created, The size is spacious, our moon's sorta large with girth, but its diameter is only bout a quarter of Earth's. For what that it’s worth, it’s Earth’s only satellite known, largest moon in the solar spinin’ round its globe. And it’s been shown the Moon affected our sphere, and may have helped develop life through our temperature here. So now that we’re clear ‘bout the Earth, Moon and the Sun y’all repeat the hook ‘cuz this tune is done. CHORUS/HOOK

(I rise to the sky from the sea below…) (Then down to the ground as rain or snow…) Verse I

I represent the movement of water—that's my purpose Whether on, above, or below the earth's surface In a continuous cycle, my work's never done ’Cause I'm driven by energy from the sun I travel through the sea, through the air, through the ground You could say that water really gets around But in fact most water's just chillin’ in the oceans Only a small fraction is really in motion at any given time But yo—that's the way it goes When we're studying the voyages of H2O In the cycle water changes states at various places The three states being ice, liquid, and water vapor But this cycle strays from the norm 'Cause through the process, water still keeps the same structural form While other cycles involve chemical change Water may change states, but its structure stays the same Chorus

I rise to the sky from the sea below Then down to the ground as rain or snow I keep it moving, moving, 'cause I'm the water cycle Moving, moving, 'cause I'm the water cycle



LYRICS…………………Water Cycle…………………………………..………..Continued

Verse II

So when water transforms from liquid to gas And rises up into the atmosphere, that's evaporation A process made possible by energy from the sun Also known as solar radiation And when this water vapor in the sky reforms Into liquid water droplets, that's condensation And when this water falls back down to the earth As rain, snow, hail, or sleet, that's precipitation But plants have their own type of evaporation Through their stomata, which is called transpiration So collectively the term used for transpiration Plus all other evaporation is evapotranspiration Two more terms to add to your collection: The movement of water through the air is advection And speaking of keeping it moving, understand That runoff is water flowing across the land Chorus

Here are a few that we found that were quite good. You may find others as well. GENERAL

www.takeaimatclimatechange.org The site, sponsored by Passport to Knowledge, has a great music video made by RRR and Polar Palooza on Climate Change. Entertaining and educational, the song is hip hop (like our others) and the information-filled lyrics are easy to read or download. It is a great way to begin your Earth studies. www.passporttoknowledge.com. Is a wonderful site for video and information about the Earth www.wikipedia.com This is always a good place to start on almost any topic. There is an extensive biography and all kinds of links to take you to additional sites packed with information, diagrams and pictures. LAYERS OF THE EARTH and EARTH, SUN, MOON

http://library.thinkquest.org/29033.begin/earthsunmoon.htm This site has some interesting diagrams and drawings that give students a visual understanding of the relationship of the moon, earth and sun to each other in a collective set of examples. It is hard to read the text, so this is best viewed on a computer screen. The information is clear, concise and should be easily understood by middle school or high school students. www.nineplanets.org. Click on Earth. Scroll down. There is lots of information about earth. Also the moon. Good for extra credit reports, but mostly for older middle school and high school students. Great pictures. http://science.howstuffworks.com. Click on ‘Earth Science’ on the Menu Bar, then on ‘Geophysics’. From there you can get information on the Earth, Sun and the Moon. This site has quite a bit of information for younger middle school students. It is not the most ‘scientific’ site, but the information is good and the style easy to read and understand. RADIATION, CONDUCTION, CONVECTION

Though not the easiest to get around, you will find it referred to several times on this RESOURCES page.
