Our students in Mrs. Gevedon’s sixth grade Social Studies classes have been learning about topographic maps and their real world applications. Students experienced an augmented reality sandbox, which allowed students to create different geographic formations while computer software and sensor identified elevation changes in the sand. Contour lines projected by the program allowed students to identify rapid and gentle elevation changes.
Students also built Play-Doh mountains which they cross-sectioned into layers. These layers were then traced to create a topographic map of their landform. Students used the contour lines they created to identify steep and gradual elevation changes of their mountains.
Finally, one activity allowed students explore part of our school grounds. Using topographic maps of the school property, students were able to connect the elevation changes on their maps with what they were seeing in the real world.
A special thanks to Coyle SWPPP Professionals for the use of the AR Sandbox and for providing topographic maps of the school grounds.
