You have been asked, by a publisher, to read and comment on Jules Verne’s science fiction novel,
Journey to the center of the Earth.
Believable science fiction takes a “nugget of truth” and then follows that thread to make it seem believable. Using your knowledge of the composition of the layers of the Earth, write a letter to Jules Verne to provide input about what parts of his story are believable and which parts are not believable. Supply evidence from your understanding of the layers of the Earth to support your comments. Be sure to include scientific vocabulary in your letter.Slide8
Construct a model of the layers of the Earth using materials of your choice
