Lab-Aids: Making and Interpreting Topographic Maps Kit


This activity provides students with a basic understanding of topographic maps and how to interpret them. Students conduct a hands-on investigation using the LAB-AIDS‚® Topographic Model to construct contour lines and create a topographic map of an area. The activity illustrates the relationship between the contour lines on a topographic map and the actual shape of the land. Each Kit No. 439S provides materials for six student groups. Each Kit No. 439SEL provides enough material for one additional student group. Developed by SEPUP.
