Grade 6 students participated in an enriching classroom activity designed to deepen their understanding of the layers of the Earth through interactive and hands-on learning experiences.
The lesson began with a virtual exploration, where students viewed detailed animations to visualize the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core. This digital introduction helped them build a strong foundational understanding before moving to practical tasks.
Students then worked with 3D models, allowing them to examine the structure and characteristics of each layer more closely. This hands-on component encouraged active engagement, meaningful discussions, and the application of scientific concepts in a tangible way.
To demonstrate their learning, students prepared and delivered presentations, confidently explaining the key features and significance of the Earth’s layers. Their work reflected clarity of concept, teamwork, and effective communication skills.
The activity concluded with an in-class quiz, giving students an opportunity to reflect on the lesson, reinforce key points, and assess their understanding in an enjoyable and interactive format.
This classroom activity not only strengthened students’ scientific knowledge but also promoted critical thinking, collaboration, and inquiry-based learning.
