Topography (Higher KS3 & KS4)
Students will begin by discussing the nature of topography and the reasons why topographic data is useful using the worksheet. They will then be given topography data at every latitude for a given longitudes on the Earth, Mars and the Moon, which they can plot using a computer package such as Excel. Once the data has been plotted, students will be able to analyse the topography of each planet, make comparisons and recognise differences by answering the questions on the activity sheet.
