Wow- I am busy today! Catching up on my "things". No kids = work time!
I picked this picture because I was trying to find something to start a discussion when I begin my "Biography of the Earth" unit. I found it interesting, because it uses a common everyday item (an egg) to show the Earth-something that my students can relate to. Many observations and inferences can come out of the discussion....
*The Earth is fragile
*There is more to the Earth than what we see on top
*The insides are hot
*There are "cracks" in the Earth
*The inside of the Earth looks like a sort of liquid.
I think I will definately use this as a unit introduction!!
I never thought of using a photo site to upload photos to use in my classroom. I have searched for "images" on google and such, but this is so much more better as it only gives me pictures- (and ones I can legally use at that!)
I can see using this for science and for my drama class. Wow, I have a lot of things to do before the start of school!
