About This Product
Turning the globe first lets the class follow oceans, continents and major landforms on the surface. Taking out the wedge then exposes the layers, so the teacher can compare the thin outer crust with the thick mantle, explain that the outer core is liquid iron and nickel, and contrast it with the solid inner core at the centre. Enquiries from Solomon Islands, Italy, Jordan, France, Equatorial Guinea and Georgia for the Earth Layer Model STEM Lab receive an export quotation.
Frequently Asked Questions
