Αctivity 3: The teacher brings students together into groups
and distributes continent names.

continent: what are the mountains, rivers, lakes and more.
The students share responsibilities: who will draw the outline
of the continent, who is the lake, who is the mountain …
Αctivity 5: Students should draw a 3D pen with their contents
and their known geographical features.
- Prepare the 3D pen. Connect it to your computer.
- Press the “On” button and wait for the handle to heat
up.
Warning! Don’t forget about safety! Do not touch the end of
the 3D handle. - Draw a 3D outline of your objects
