Investigate various famous mountains around the world. How was their altitude discovered? What are modern ways height is measured? What is an altimeter and how is it used?

Create a model of five of the world’s tallest mountains. Label the height of each and have the models reflect the correct proportions of each mountain in relation to the others.

Select famous geographical landmarks and create a diagram of their heights. Identify manmade structures of similar proportion and place them near the geological landmarks to give perspective of height.
