Look at how contour lines are used on maps to represent the shape of landforms. Compare side and top views of geometrical objects such as a cone and a hemisphere. Examine geometrical objects on a 3D landscape. Place contours of geometrical objects on a map to match a 3D landscape. This learning object is one in a series of three objects. The series is also packaged as a combined learning object.
Objective
Illustrates how contour lines represent the shape of landforms and geometrical solids.
Students construct a contour map representing a landscape of geometrical objects.
