What a Relief: Using Paper Relief Sculpture to Teach Topographic Map Skills
Price, Kelly
Science Scope, v29 n2 p37 Oct 2005
While the struggle persists in science classes to help students visualize in three dimensions, art classes are creating unique sculptures out of paper that produce three-dimensional displays from two-dimensional resources. The translation of paper relief sculpting from the art classroom to the science classroom adds dimension to the teaching of topography. An activity that visualizes topography is described in this article.
