![]() ![]() I propped my model up in a tin can, you can use whatever container you’d like. The last step is to paint a wood dowel and insert it into the center of the earth model. If you do choose to label the layers here is the way it should go: I left mine without labels so I could make the kids guess. Once that is dry you can either choose to label your layers of the earth with a marker or leave it as is. With acrylic paint, paint the layers of earth in the center of the sphere and let dry. ![]() It’s totally okay to have a bumpy surface on the outside of the sphere, it will look more like earth. Using a plastic spatula or a popsicle stick apply the Smooth Finish all over the foam ball.Īllow the Smooth Finish to dry completely, then using sandpaper lightly sand the entire surface. I used the Smooth Finish to create a smooth surface on the foam ball. This next step is optional, but I prefer the way it looks with it. For this you can either use a foam saw or the foam wire cutter, it heats up and cut clean through the foam. Make It: Fun® Foam Saw or Make It: Fun® Electric Cutterįirst, cut out a portion of the 8″ foam ball to show the layers of the earth. This Layers of The Earth DIY Foam Model is perfect for students of all ages to create. While I don’t typically post a lot of these types of projects I thought it would be fun to do a project based on something my kiddo’s have been learning about in school. This month we were asked to create a project focused on learning since we are right in the midst of science fair season.
