Both Products: Each card set comes as a watercolor master AND a black-line master.  Color is recommended for the initial presentation, reserving the black-line version for children’s practice to remove what will by then be unnecessary color cues.

Bird’s Eye View – 3 Lessons with 4-part cards
• Level 1 – small scale manipulative objects… Can you hold a pencil so it looks like a pink circle?
• Level 2 – medium scale fixed objects… What would a swingset look like viewed from above?
• Level 3 – large scale fixed objects… What would a parking lot look like viewed from the side?
These experiences prepare children for map reading, but will also influence children’s art!

Common Topographic Features – 1 Lesson with 4-part cards
Working with this material set will:
• familiarize children with representations of common features like hills, valleys, mountains, and cliffs
• teach interpretation of relative size and steepness of features
• lead children to intuit “rules” of contour mapping
Note: the black-line version of Common Topographic Features is included in the mapping section of Users’ Guide to the Physics of the Earth
