Identify Earth layers — free printable Middle School Science worksheet

Earth's layered interior — the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core — is the focus of this middle school Earth Science worksheet, where students practice identifying each layer and its key characteristics. Teachers can use it during a plate tectonics and Earth structure unit to check that students can connect each layer to its properties, such as composition and state of matter. A clear mental model of Earth's layers supports later understanding of seismic waves, volcanism, and tectonic movement.

Learning objectives

  • Identify and name the four main layers of Earth
  • Describe the key physical and chemical properties of each layer
  • Explain how scientists gather evidence about Earth's interior layers
