Model of the Mediterranean.
We started with a map of Europe to build a large model of the Mediterranean on which explain our observations of this environment so important for us. We have divided the paper into many squares and then we decided the magnification needed to get the size of the model: Magnification Ratio = upper side of the map / top side of our plastic. We have therefore drawn on tracing paper so many bigger square MR How we did it on the map. We therefore designed the profile of the Mediterranean and isobaths (contours subsea) in the new square. The next step was to define how many sheets of polystyrene were needed to cover the entire surface of the plastic wrapping paper to divide it into equal pieces with polystyrene sheets and cut out the contour lines drawn.
