Staci in FL Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Some time ago, I saw the directions on here for an edible earth that shows the different layers. I bookmarked it and now can't find it. Does anyone have the recipe for this? Thanks, Staci Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenmomof3 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Here's the one we made out of ice cream. Was that it? http://www.sd5.k12.mt.us/glaciereft/geoeatk8.htm Jennifer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classical Country Mama Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Here's one Nova Mama did, in case that's what you were thinking of too. They all look yummy. http://www.welltrainedmind.com/forums/showthread.php?t=130344 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truscifi Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 We made a pizza. We used different cheeses to show the different layers and a slice of tomato in the middle to show the molten core. We didn't use a recipe, just put it together ourselves based on a description in a science program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAR120C Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Because my favorite models are 99% sugar... It was a Tootsie Pop (the tootsie roll in the center is the inner core, and the lollipop part is the outer core), which we crammed into a squashed marshmallow (mantle), and dipped in melted chocolate (crust). Of course you could use something healthier - a whole stone-fruit for the core, peanut butter mantle and roll it in graham cracker crumbs for the crust? But I can tell you, the candy was a memorable project! (And in case anyone thinks school is all candy here... for volcanos I go with skillet lasagna. When you melt the cheese on top, all that marinara sauce starts bubbling through and tada! pyroclastic flow! ;)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SABE Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Here's the one I'm planning to use: http://www.kidskreate.com/edible_earth.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pongo Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 This is what we did Cut a small slit into the marshmallow and put a lifesaver(core) in the middle. Then did the marshmallow(mantle) into melted chocolate chips, make sure it's covered. Lastly, dip into sprinkles(crust).:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybear Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 You guys are making me want to do earth science all over again!! Ds one is doing chemistry. Ds two is doing biology. We're throwing in a bit of physics. I'm thinking earth science is overkill.:) Just maybe we'll have to make an edible earth. Hmmm.......which one, though....pizza? marshmallows and chocolate? ice cream? What great ideas! Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
