Must: Be able to describe how 6 figure grid references are used to pinpoint locations on maps. Should: Be able to interpret contours lines height and relief Could: Be able to create an accurate cross section from contours on a map

50 49 48 47 46 45 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19

Write the 6 figure grid references for the following places on the Hogwarts map Hagrid’s hut The Gatehouse Whomping Willow Hogsmeade Station Eragog The Shrieking Shack Honeydukes sweetshop Mervillage The Quidditch pitch A unicorn 11. The place where you could enjoy a butter beer! Extension: find another location and write down its 6 figure grid reference the test your partner.

1. What do you notice about the relief of the land around Hogwarts? 2. How do geographers show relief on a map? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPXJsQjUTm0&feature=related

Contour Lines – Lines on a map that join places of the same height They show the height and relief (shape) of land. On most OS maps the lines are drawn every 10m. Several contours together make up a pattern which show the steepness and shape of the land. The contours have been drawn on the main sketch for you. Remember the closer the contour lines, the steeper the slope

1. Match the contours with the corresponding landscape. Extension: Try to draw your own landscape profile and the contours that represent it.

20m A 10m 30m 10m 20m 30m 40m 30m 20m 10m 40m 30m 20m B 10m Write down the elevation (height) of: The Shrieking Shack, Quidditch stadium, Hogsmeade Station, Whomping Willow, Gate House, Post office, Unicorn, Gawp, Hagrid’s Hut. Rank them into order of elevation; highest to lowest. 20m 30m 40m 50m Extension: What is the feature in the north-east of the map shown by the ‘V’ like contour lines.

Draw a profile of the line A-B on the Hogwarts map Draw on the Hogwarts castle and the Quidditch stadium.

Complete the OS map contour activity sheet In pairs… Use an OS map to quiz classmates on the heights of places on that map. Give them the 6 figure grid reference to find the place you are referring to.

THE HOT SEAT! I need a brave volunteer! Its about to get hot like a warm butter-beer in here! While our volunteer steps outside the room… As a class, come up with some key terms from today’s lesson. DO NOT reveal them to our volunteer. When our volunteer returns, we shall try to describe those words him/her.

On a post-it note Write… 1 thing that you already knew 1 thing that you have learnt today 1 thing that you would like to find out
