Studying landforms and the ever-changing Earth's surface, led us to wonder how cartographers show different elevations on maps. We looked at relief maps and topographic maps. Then, we constructed our own landform designs and created topographic maps with contour lines. We created the contour lines by slicing the clay landforms with some dental floss in 1 centimeter segments and then tracing them on the graph paper. Most exciting of all, was having the class try to identify which map corresponded with which landform. WE DID IT!!
