Give your earth science students a focused look at reading topographic maps with ninety questions built for real classroom use, whether you are starting a new unit or reviewing before a test.
Students will answer questions such as "What can contour lines tell you about a mountain?", "What does a contour line on a topographic map represent?", and "What does a closed contour line with no other lines inside indicate?"
Each worksheet reviews the same core ideas from a different angle. Use them across a week or unit so students see the material three times without it ever feeling repetitive.
This set is part of a NGSS aligned earth science unit. The unit also covers Earth's Surface, Modeling Topographic Features, 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.
