What about Earth's interior. We search through the internet in order to find information and answer this question.
We also watch videos and presentations

They also play with the games for the Earthquake...
Moreover the suggest us to create our own game for the Earthquake...
Students getting inspired of these pictures they created Earth's interior by using clay and then do the same using brushes and colors.
