Tupperware Landforms

In class we recently did a really cool activity with Tupperware. We actually created the illusion of a landform!

TUPPERWARE LANDFORM ACTIVITY

Here is what you need for the activity:

At least 5-10 Tupperware plastic transparent containers
1 Eraseable marker
a paper towel (or anything to erase with)
A sheet of landform levels

The activity is very easy but very cool as well. You start out putting one container on the bottom (biggest) level of the mountain or landform. you trace that level then put another container on top of it and trace the next level through the containers. As it gets smaller, you can see a landform forming up. To make different ones, just erase the marker and you can even make your own 3-D landform! Try it!
