Science

Films - The Core!

The core is a brilliant film about the centre of the earth shattering and coming to a halt, causing the earth’s magnetic field to collapse. This leads to chaos in the world that threatens the survival of all living things!

What to do:

1) Draw or make a model of the earth. The key here is to include all the layers of the earth, including the core (centre of our planet!). Try to draw the earth or make the model so that it is cracking from the core!

2) The outer core of the earth is magnetic (because of the metal iron) and is responsible for the electromagnetic field around our planet, protecting us from the sun’s harmful radiation!

Search around you for magnetic items and make a list of what you find.

Creative writing taskDraw or write a storyboard of a film you have enjoyed. Choose 6 or more

scenes, showing the story of the film.

Music taskLots of films use sound effects to create noises that add to the effect of the film. Recording

your own sound effects to represent different objects or events – you could watch your favourite film with the sound turned down and create sound effects to match the action in

the film.

Here are some examples of sounds you could recreate – the only rule is that you CANNOT use the actual object to make the sound:

A door banging shut, a creaking stair, thunder and rain, birds singing, the ocean, a train or plane etc.
