About This Product
Teachers point out the thin solid crust, the thick rocky mantle, the outer core commonly taught as a liquid metallic layer and the solid inner core, then ask students to label each one. The model connects textbook diagrams with a physical object and helps students compare surface features with the layers beneath, alongside lessons on volcanoes, earthquakes and tectonic plates.
