Orange World

We took an orange and a marker pen. We had to draw on the orange the continents of the World.

Next the fun part.

We peeled our orange and had to make the pieces of skin 2-D (flat) on piece of paper. We were meant to join up the continents but the pen came off the orange so it didn't work very well.

Here there are spaces in between the orange peel so it needs to be joined up.

Here is the orange peel sorted up into 2-D. It is good but not perfect. There are still some spaces. If the marker didn't come off we could have made a better map of the world. It was hard to make the World flat, almost impossible. It is not easy to turn a 3-D World into a 2-D map.

Why don't you try this yourself? Make sure you use permanent markers!
