Earth Spheres Interaction Poster

Directions: Read the rubric prior to starting your poster to see the requirements. Title your poster

Earth’s System Interactions. Split the poster board into four equal parts as seen below. Find a

picture that show’s two of Earth’s spheres interacting, glue it in the box, and explain their

interactions. Find a second picture showing three of Earth’s spheres interacting, glue it in the box,

and explain their interactions. Find a third picture showing four of Earth’s spheres interacting, glue

it in the box, and explain their interactions. Find a fourth picture showing all five of Earth’s spheres

interacting, glue it in the box, and explain their interactions.
