  1. Isotherm LAB

  2. Procedures • Draw a smoothly curving line connecting points on the map where temperatures are the same. • 40s line • 50s line • 60s line • 70s line • 80s line

  3. Procedures 2. Retrace the lines darker once you are finished correcting your mistakes. 3. Using colors, shade each temperature range a different color. • 30s = purple • 40s = blue • 50s = green • 60s = yellow • 70s = orange • 80s = red 4. Make a temperature/color key. (Copy the above key onto the front of the map.)
