The 6th grade science students completed a project where they chose one of the four spheres of the Earth. After choosing a sphere, students created a handprint collage by cutting and gluing magazine clippings. Some students chose to include a themed background that complimented their handprint collage. This project was based on the 6th grade Earth Science curriculum topic of Earth's systems/spheres which include the geosphere, biosphere, atmosphere, and the hydrosphere. The geosphere consists of the solid Earth, rocks, minerals and landforms. The biosphere includes all living organisms such as plants, animals, fungi, and microorganisms. The atmosphere is the layer of air surrounding the Earth. Lastly, the hydrosphere is all of Earth's water including oceans, rivers, lakes, and more!
