Skill 4.3 Understanding Cross-sections
These activities, produced by Gatsby Science Enhancement Programme, help students to interpret diagrams and visual representations that are drawn in cross-section.
This is a skill that is often taken for granted but often used in scientific representations, such as when drawing apparatus. This activity helps students to be able to construct three-dimensional mental images of items drawn in a two-dimensional cross section.
