Give your earth science students a focused look at planet layers and density with ninety questions built for real classroom use, whether you are starting a new unit or reviewing before a test.
Sample questions include "What is the lithosphere composed of?", "Which layer of the Earth is primarily composed of iron and nickel?", and "What is the primary composition of the Earth's core?"
All three worksheets cover the same topic in different question styles. That means you can use one as a pretest, another for practice or homework, and the third as a follow up quiz, without students ever seeing the same question twice.
This set is part of a NGSS aligned earth science unit. The unit also covers Scale in Space, Solar System Size Comparison, Building a Scale Model, Surface Features of Planets, Data Interpretation, and Graphing Solar System, all in the same three worksheet format, so your classroom routine stays familiar while the topic changes.
Suitable for Grade 6-8 earth science classes, and for review at any point in the school year. This set is aligned to NGSS standard MS-ESS1-3.
