1). Mrs. Van! What kind of question is this?! All of them look amazing! They are all unique and a different thing stands out in all of them. I have a tie between Curlyfrie's, Cleopatra's, Itzme.eg's, Penguinpartay's, Polarcolar's, Itzbubz's, Ninjalover, ... the list goes on forever. 2). I think Cleopatra's, Penguinpartay's, Curlyfrie's, and Ninjalover's helped me the best because their layers were separated very far and so it was easier to understand the differences of the layers. 3). I sort of chose the same models, but for the ones I didn't pick in Question 2, I'm not really sure why I didn't. Great job, everyone! Okay, bye!

Hi~! Whoh~ those looks awsome. I think same as twinkle toe, I can't chose between thsoe great models. 1) I think Itzbubz's Earth model is the best, it's because It shows the layers obviously and clearly(Actually it's the same word). 2) I can see Cleopatra's model shows us the Earth's layers and makes us understand the best. Also, we can see the size clearly from her model. 3) I was going to make the two of the answers same, but becuase I love all two of them, so I didn't picked the same one. I think it's also because their models are different and it shows us the layers differently but obviously.

Oh, how could I choose just one?! All of the Earth models were FANTABULOUS and SUPERDUPER creative. I really didn't get a chance to actually read the model's information so I can't really choose which model had the most helpful information. But I think the people who chose to use posters to accompany their model had extra space to fill it with information so I predict that they would probably have interesting and helpful information about the Earth's layers. Bye!

I can't choose a model either! They all look really cool. I think that polarcolar, Cleopatra, and penguin partay's models help me understand it the best. I kind of chose different ones for the first two questions. I guess I found some of them more helpful than others.

Oh my gosh no way am I going to name the best one! I probably can't remember who's is who's anyways so I can say this: they all looks amazing! I thought the materials and objects everyone used or homemade was fabulous and creative. I think the one with the seperate layers on the wire is easier to understand because of the way it is laid out and gives a clear image in my mind. I loved all of them but sometimes if the information is bunched up or small then it might be a little bit difficult reading the information on the four layers.

I think I liked curlyfries the best because it was new, creative and extremely unique and stood out from the others. I think cleopatras' model helps me understand it the best because it shows the order it's in very clearly and the sizes are very accurate. Yes I did choose different models because one just looked easier to understand than the other, even though they were both amazing. See, you tomorrow! Bye!

I love all the Earth models but the one I liked best was Curlyfrie's because it was such a creative way of showing all the layer's of Earth with fruits. I think Cleopatra's model helped me understand the layers more because you can directly see all the layers from the Crust to the center of Earth. Yes, I did choose different models for 1 and 2 because the first one I liked how she was creative and the second one, I liked how she just showed me a better way of seeing the Earth. I think it really depends on the question. Well, bye and see you guys tomorrow!

Hi! Why do i have to choose! They all are very creative and original! My favourite would have to be between ItzBubz and Ninjaaloverr! They are all super cool! Everyone did a great job! The one that helped me understand the layers of the Earth more, hmmmm. Thats hard because i didn't read to many but i would have to choose Ninjaaloverr's. I did but didn't. But to answer the question maybe its because some look super cool and others are more informative! Well, see you all tomorrow! Bye for now...

i thought that all the models were great! They were so creative. The model that I think helps me understand the most is Mary's because it's a different way of looking at the earth. I didn't choose different models but if i did maybe it was because one was more detailed and one was more creative? I'm not really sure.

All the models look so good I can't chose just one ! I think that Penguinpartay's model helps me understand the layers the best. Yes, I did. I think that is because different models are more straightforward and others had more detailed. Bye.

My favorite earth model was probably EFM's because of how creative it was with the moon, the rocket ship, and the space station. ItsBubz is the best at showing earths layers because it shows every single layer known to human kind, and that's really helpful. Yes, I chose different models because one sowed better layers and the other one didn't. See you all tomorrow.

I can't choose one model that I like the best. Penguinpartay's model helps me understand the layers the most. I do not understand the third question. See you all today

I like the model made out of fruit the best because it is creative. The model that explains the actual earth the best is probably the earth cut in have with stars behind it. It shows you are actually in space witch is really cool. See you all today.

I really can't decide witch is my favourite because there are a lot of good one. I can't chose because almost all of them tells me the layer of Earth. I just want to say that all of them are good! See you all later! :D

I like all of the models, they are all very creative and well done! I can't pick one they're all good! I think the one that helps me understand earths layers of Ellisha's, it shows the differant layers and where they go! I didn't choose the same answers. I'm not really sure why but I think it's because for the first one they were all good and the second one I only said one that helped me explain but there are a lot of others!

I think that they all turned out good and I really liked all of the ideas people had like marina's I liked how she used the fruits and how Nadine used Rice Krispies. I don't think that I could pick one because they were all fantastic!!
