Part 1

The day before the lesson, the teacher wants the students to bring blue, green, yellow, brown, dark brown and white sheets to the classroom in order to study knowledge of colors on physical maps.

The lecture will be done in the following order:

1. Blue sheet is spread on the front right of the classroom floor with waves.

2. Green sheet is spread over the blue sheet up to 50 cm. height.

3. Yellow sheet is spread over the green sheet up to one meter.

4. Light brown sheet is spread over the yellow sheet up to 1.5 meter.

5. Dark brown sheet is spread on an umbrella over the light brown sheet up to 2 meters height in order to make summit.

6. A white sheet is spread on the small part of the umbrella to create icecap ambiance.

As a result, students understand that blue on physical maps expresses seas, lakes, oceans. Green means heights from 500 m to 1000 m. Light brown shows the heights from 1500 m to 2000 m. dark brown means the heights above 2000 m. and white represents icecaps.
