  1. DO NOW: Describe this picture

  2. MAPPING FIELDS Topographic (contour) maps

  3. Does this help?

  4. SEA LEVEL

  5. RISING WATER

  6. Contour Lines

  7. What is this?

  8. CONTOUR MAP

  9. Medial Review • What is a topographic map? • Why are topographic (contour) maps used? • How can we label them? • What do contour lines represent on topographic maps? • Name a topographic structure that is represented by a contour line that closes within the limits of its map. • Tell me the altitude at sea level.

  10. Index Contour

  11. Steepness

  12. Practice Map

  13. Review • Can intervals between contour lines on the same map vary? • Name the line that is shaded darker than the other contour lines • When contour lines are close together they indicate that… • What is a topographic map?

  14. END LESSON • Extra slides in case we run over. • I might just have the students go around the class looking at the different topographic maps I have hung up

  15. Contour Mappingpart II • Aim: What are the different features of contour maps?

  16. How Can We Find steepness? CHANGE IN VALUE • GRADIENT = CHANGE IN DISTANCE • **EARTH SCIENCE REFERENCE TABLES**

  17. Find the gradient----- = 100 feet

  18. Hachures

  19. Rivers

  20. Matching Time!
