This lesson builds on the lesson four, but has a greater emphasis on physical geography. Pupils learn how hills and valleys are represented on Ordnance Survey maps, through the use of contour lines.
Students review various contour maps, including local ones, to identify landforms such as mountains and plains. Students create a 3-D contour map of an imaginary location that shows at least 10 changes in elevation. Children write a description of their fantasy location using correct terminology.
Contour map. A map showing elevations and surface configuration by means of contour lines. Topography. The general configuration of part of the Earth's surface, including its relief and the position of its natural and man-made features. Materials. Computer with Internet access. Paper, ruler, pencil.

27 kwi 2024 · From earthquakes and landslides to mountains and valleys, here are 20 of our favorite authentic activities to improve your students’ mapping skills. 1. DIY Contour Map. This interactive map activity can help your students understand the contour lines of mountains. We use these lines to indicate differences in elevation on a 2D surface.
Pupils learn how hills and valleys are represented on OS maps, through the use of contour lines. Building a 3-D model from contour lines helps to develop their understanding of how physical features are represented on 2-dimensional maps.
Students analyze and interpret topographic contour maps to describe their three-dimensional structure while learning about technology used to map the seafloor, Earth's surface, and other worlds. Through understanding geographic structures, students will also be able to identify the best technology used to map these structures.
