1.  Based on your graph, which layer has the greatest
volume?
 
The mantle

2.  Based on your
graph, which layer has the smallest volume? 

The inner core

3.  How did Earth's 4 layers
form?

Many geologists believe that as the Earth cooled the heavier, denser materials
  sank to the center and the lighter materials rose to the top.

4.  The crust can also be divided into 2 types. 
Name the two types and describe 1 property of each

Next time we should work on controlling how fast or how slow we put the drops on the coins. Plus, we should check our math to make sure we didn't type a number(s) wrong in the calculator.
