Description

Contour maps add the exciting dimension of elevation to two-dimensional mapping. They are an invaluable resource for outdoor workers and recreational enthusiasts.

These 4-part cards (with lesson plan)  have been used successfully with children as young as 6 with appropriate preparation (see Birds’ Eye View), but they are most suitable for children from age 8 to 11.
