Contour map model makers
Turn a contour map into a 3D model of a place you choose.
Ever wonder how a flat map shows mountains and valleys? Grab your scissors and clay and turn contour lines into a 3D model of a city, town or place you choose. Build it layer by layer as you discover how maps represent elevation, slope and the shape of the land.

I am a scientist, a tree hugger, and teacher who loves making and fixing things.
