Science - Milo Experiment

What are the earth's layers, what are they called?

Youtube clip of our experiment - Screenshots

Our Master piece - recreation of the youtube clip

• The cocoa represents the earth's crust. -Plate tectonics etc.
• The cracks represent the earths plates moving and forming new continents/ volcanoes.
• When the cocoa starts to more they form little islands like the world’s continents.

• This all happened because of the milo Underneath the crust, which in the real world would be magma. The magma forms new land by expanding the earth's crust therefore making the earth's surface move, crack etc. The milk started to move because of Convection.
• Convection: This happens because when water is heated the cold water sinks to the bottom because the particles are closer together, and dont move much. The hot water rises because the hot water particles are moving fast and are all spread apart, Making the water move, therefore making currents. Making what ever on top move!!

I like this experiment because it showed us how tectonic plates move and what happened around that. Marshmallows weren't needed but made it more fun and interesting!! Next time i would try drinking chocolate as it is finer and may work a bit better. Some Things that were different with the youtube clip and our experiment was that our milo (crust) did not crack as much, and our milk didn't bubble. We just added the marshmallows for fun!
