1
Our planet is an amazing place … but there are parts of it that no one has ever seen!
2
Like where?
3
Like in the middle!
4
No one has ever been to the center of the Earth, not even close!
5
The deepest hole that’s ever been dug didn’t even make it through the thinnest, outer layer of Earth’s four amazing layers.
6
But even if you could go deeper than that, you’d have a really hard time digging!
7
Because those inner layers of the Earth get really hot!
8
So today, we’re going to get as close as we can to seeing the center of the Earth, by building a model of our planet!
9
First, let’s go through what we know about Earth’s four main layers.
10
The first layer is the one you’re on right now!
11
It’s called the crust.
12
The crust is the outermost layer of our planet, and it includes all of the land you can see … as well as the land that you can’t see, like the very bottom of the ocean.
13
The crust is also the thinnest of Earth’s layers.
14
But even so, we’ve never been able to dig all the way through it!
15
The crust is nice and cool on the outside, but once you dig down a kilometer or so, it starts to get really warm really fast.
16
And the deeper you go, the hotter it gets!
17
By the time you reach the bottom of the crust, it’s too hot for anything to live in!
18
Now, after the crust comes the second layer: the mantle.
19
It’s the thickest of all of Earth’s layers.
20
This layer is so hot that the rocks that make up the mantle are actually melted!
21
But we’re not done yet!
22
The third layer is the outer core, and beneath that, at the very center of the Earth, is the fourth layer, the inner core, the hottest of all the layers!
23
Now that we know each of the Earth’s layers, we can make a model of our planet, from the inside out!
24
All you’ll need is a bunch of different colors of art clay.
25
You can use whatever colors you like.
26
But I’m going to use red, orange, yellow, brown, green, and blue.
27
Each layer in our model is going to have its own color, so we can tell them apart.
28
Now, what kind of temperature do you think of when you think of the color red?
29
I think hot!
30
So let’s use red for the hottest layer, the inner core.
31
Orange doesn’t seem as hot to me, but it does seem warmer than yellow, so we’ll use orange for the outer core.
32
Then let’s use yellow for the mantle, and brown for the coolest layer, the crust.
33
But what about the green and blue?
34
We can use these colors to make the continents and the oceans, that is, the big masses of land and water, they’re parts of the crust, too.
35
Ok, so, let’s start with our innermost layer, the inner core.
36
We’ll take some red clay and roll it into a ball between our hands.
37
Once we have our inner core, let’s take some orange clay and wrap that around the red ball.
38
Our Earth is growing!
39
And the outer core is... almost done.
40
There! Next, we’ll put on a layer of yellow, which will be our mantle.
41
Do you remember what’s special about this layer?
42
The mantle is the thickest of Earth’s layers!
43
So let’s add a little bit of extra yellow to make sure it’s nice and thick.
44
This looks great!
45
Now we’ll cover the mantle with brown, for our crust.
46
The crust is the thinnest layer, so we won’t use as much clay for that.
47
There we go!
48
We got the crust done!
49
But we still have the blue and green left over to make continents and oceans.
50
You can shape the continents to make them look like they do on your globe, or you can make them look however you like.
51
It’s your model after all!
52
This looks great!
53
But now that our model of Earth is done, we can’t see the layers inside.
54
So let’s ask a grown-up for help, because I have an idea!
55
Ask them to find a butterknife and very carefully cut your globe in half.
56
Ooooo! Look at that!
57
You can see all of the layers.
58
On the outside is the crust, second is the big yellow mantle, next is the outer core, and finally the very middle is the inner core.
59
That’s right Squeaks, it does look really cool!
60
But there are lots of other ways you can make your own Earth!
61
You can try making Earth’s layers with colored construction paper.
62
Or if you want to take a more delicious route, you and a grown up can make a four-layered cake, with each layer colored to represent a layer of the Earth!
63
Get creative and have fun!
64
Thank you for joining Squeaks and me to create the Earth from the inside out, and we’d like to give a big thank you to Google Making Science for helping us make this episode!
65
Do you have a globe you want to share with us?
66
Or do you have more questions about Earth?
67
We’d love to hear from you!
68
Just grab a grown-up and leave us a comment down below, or send us an e-mail to [email protected].
69
And we’ll see you next time!

为什么用这个视频学英语？
这段视频用简单有趣的方式讲解地球结构，对话口语化且逻辑清晰，非常适合看YouTube学英语。内容围绕“制作地球模型”展开，既有科学知识又有动手步骤，词汇贴近生活，语速适中，是练习shadow speech的好素材。
日常交流高频短语5则
- dig through：穿过（如“我们从未挖穿地壳”）
- wrap around：包裹（如“用橙色黏土包裹红球”）
- start to get：开始变得（如“往下挖一公里就开始变热”）
- make up：组成（如“构成地幔的岩石”）
- shape...to look like：把…塑造成…样子（如“把大陆塑造成 globe 上的形状”）
影子跟读法分步练习指南
针对视频特点，建议这样练习：
1. 先听一遍，理解“地球四层结构”和“制作步骤”的逻辑，标注连读（如“dig down”“hot for”）。
2. 逐句暂停，模仿语调（讲解科学知识时的平缓，动手环节的轻快），重点练“the crust is...the mantle is...”这样的句式，为雅思口语练习积累描述结构的表达。
3. 完整跟诵3遍，关注“now”“so”等连接词的节奏，提升流畅度。
这个方法比单纯背单词有效，适合作为shadowing site的入门练习。
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
