Help your students build real understanding of modeling topographic features through ninety questions that move from basic recognition to genuine reasoning about how the Earth works.
Sample questions include "What is an important characteristic of an accurate topographic model?", "Which technique enhances the understanding of contour lines on a model?", and "Why is it important to label contour lines with elevation values?"
Because the three worksheets share the same content in three different formats, you can spread them across the week: one for diagnosis, one for practice, and one for assessment, without repeating a single question.
This set is part of a NGSS aligned earth science unit. The unit also covers Earth's Surface, Reading Topographic Maps, Satellite and GIS Technology, Earthquake and Volcano Maps, Tectonic Plate Features, and Erosion and Surface Change, all in the same three worksheet format, so your classroom routine stays familiar while the topic changes.
Suitable for Grade 6-8 earth science classes, and for review at any point in the school year. This set is aligned to NGSS standard MS-ESS2-2.
