Classroom Activity: Mapping Alien Worlds

A multi-layered surface is visible, composed of legos. The different colors relate to different surface elevations.
Students analyze simulated radar data to map surface elevations on a grid.

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.
