Contours Homework: Sheet on contours. Learning objectives: ·To understand how we can show relief on a flat surface. ·To be able to use contour lines to work out how high places are. Key word: Relief: The height and shape of the land. Level 4: I can use contours to show how high the Level 5: Level 6: Homework: Sheet on contours.
