Assalamu alaikum.
Eighth (8th) grade Earth and Space Science classes during two weeks, were about learning how to make and understand topographic maps and contour lines.
We had to build an island first using a playdough home recipe. The island had to have 2 peaks and 1 valley.
Then we added 1cm of water and marked where the water touched the island. We continuously added 1cm of water and marked it on the island until we reached the top of it.
The island was then used to make a topographic map.
