Earth's Spheres

Grade Fours this year have a new Science curriculum! The first thing that we're learning about is the different spheres on Earth. We learned four key words and what they mean. The lithosphere means the land/ground. The hydrosphere means the water. The biosphere is all living things, and the atmosphere is the layer of gasses that protect the Earth. Here are some examples of each: 


Ms Elder taught us how to make an Earth's spheres flipbook to help us remember them. Here are photos of us working: 







At the end, we labelled and decorated them to show what each sphere is made up of.

Next week, we will be diving deeper (get it?!) in the Hydrosphere
