Team 2 will need to obtain the North Slope Map from the teacher. Grab one per two students in your group. Together discuss a flat route and a steep route, see above to the right.
Team 1
Explore 2: Using the SandBox to build a map and profiles
Here you will be as a group aiming to build your topographic map in the SandBox Augmented Reality toolbox. You will as a group plan out how to make the same topography as seen in your printed map. Go to the page for your group. First go online and view the following YouTube video so you are able to movie the Sand to match the topography. www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9JXtTj0mzE
Preparation


  1. Work with the teacher to start using the SandBox. The tool, see example view below, will change its topographic map to match the levels of the sand.



Figure A: GINA Sandbox, showing landscape as browns and greens and water as blue’s and white.


Working in the Sand


  1. Spend 5 minutes as a group in the SandBox. The aim is to build the closest match to your topographic map in this time.




  1. Those taking photos, record the photo number and what you photographed on the sheet provided by your teacher.




  1. Those taking notes, you will need to record decisions made and use the sheet provided by your teacher.


AT THE END OF THE 5 MINUTES, SHOW YOUR TEACHER THAT YOU HAVE COMPLETED YOUR TOPOGRAPHIC MAP.


  1. Take one last photo of the map and one of the team in front of the SandBox. Note how many photos have been taken. Record this on the photo log sheet.



Making Profiles in the Sand


  1. Here you will be using the SandBox to make a profile along the topography. From you map given to you by your teacher, construct the topography in the SandBox.




  1. Once the topography has been built, then select two pieces of string. Choose a start and end point. Mark them in the sand with the markers given to you by your teacher.




  1. Once piece of string show go from the start to the end along what you think is the flatter route.




  1. Once you have placed the string along this route then use the ruler to measure its length and count the number of contours along the route. Place the numbers in the table below for the flat route.




Route

Length of String (cm)

Number of contours

Flat







Steep
