The 5th grade students in Ms. Edwards’s class have been learning about the layers of the Earth. For this activity, students went to Schoology for their lesson materials. We started by watching a BrainPop video to review the composition of each layer of the Earth.

Next students clicked on a link that took them to ABCya Animate. From here the students used the drawing, text, and duplicate tools to create an animation showing the four layers of the Earth.

The finished projects were downloaded as an animated gif and uploaded to a media album in Schoology.

Check out some of their great work samples!
