Classroom Activity: Mapping Alien Worlds
![A multi-layered surface is visible, composed of legos. The different colors relate to different surface elevations.](/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsibWVzc2FnZSI6IkJBaHBBaWtJIiwiZXhwIjpudWxsLCJwdXIiOiJibG9iX2lkIn19--f12bcd2d437e62d2ee727e0137b0633596fab8ef/mappingworlds_main-640x350.jpg?disposition=inline)
In this activity, students analyze simulated radar data to map surface elevations on a grid. Next, they determine what kind of surface feature is displayed by the data. Students then build a physical model representing their data.
