Learning intentions and success criteria We are learning to
identify features of topographic maps
calculate contour interval on topographic map
identify landforms using contour lines.
We can
recognise topographic maps
interpret topographic maps
use contour lines to identify landforms on topographic maps. 2<br>

Key features of topographic maps List the key features 3<br>
04
Topographic maps (1) I do What is the lowest point of topography on Diagram A?
What is the highest point of topography on Diagram A?
What is the contour interval of Diagram A? 4<br>
05
Topographic maps (2) We do What is the lowest point of topography on Diagram C?
What is the highest point of topography on Diagram C?
What is the contour interval of Diagram C? 5<br>
06
Topographic maps (3) You do What is the lowest point of topography on Diagram B?
What is the highest point of topography on Diagram B?
What is the contour interval of Diagram B? 6<br>
07
Think-Pair-Share (1) Topic – 7<br>
08
Think-Pair-Share (2) Hint – contour lines closer together illustrate steeper slopes What type of landscape would this contour pattern illustrate?
Sketch and scribble a ground level view of this landscape from a point of your choice. 8<br>
09
Think-Pair-Share (3) Hint – contour lines gradually and equally increase towards the top. What type of landscape would this contour pattern illustrate?
Sketch and scribble a ground level view of this landscape from a point of your choice. 9<br>
10
Think-Pair-Share (4) Hint – contour lines gradually and equally decrease towards the centre. What type of landscape would this contour pattern illustrate?
Sketch and scribble a ground level view of this landscape from a point of your choice. 10<br>
