  1. Agenda: • Bell work • Activity 25- Making Topo Maps • Materials: • Pencil • Notebook/Folder • IAES book: C-8 Thank you for not chewing gum or anything else  October 17 Daily Question: What are the similarities and differences between Boomtown and Chandler? Daily Objective: Today we will investigate how changes in elevation are illustrated on maps.

  2. Vocabulary • Topography – a collection of landforms in an area • Topographical maps – a map that uses a series of lines to represent the 3D shape of the land surface • Contour interval – the change in elevation between 2 lines • Contour line – connect all the areas of the same height relative to sea level • Stability – a measure of how much the land has changed over a long time (less change means more stable) Textbook: Act 25 pg. C-8

  3. Procedure: • Carefully follow procedures 1-8 with your group. • **Make topo map and answer questions on Left side** • AQ 1-4 Activity 25- Making a Topo Map

  4. Learning Goal: to understand the processes of weathering, erosion and deposition and be able to explain how they affect the stability of landforms.
