My son's 6th grade science class learned about planet Earth. He had a wonderful time learning about the inner core and outer core, the mantle and of course the crust. When his teacher asked them to create a model of the planet, of course he came home saying, "I want to make mine edible!

It’s a Messy Job!

Xander figured out pretty quickly that he'd have to get his hands dirty. We also had to be careful not to make the inner core to large, as each layer that went around it would need to be successively larger. The slide show below takes you through the entire process.
