ABSTRACT:
An instructional globe facilitates the guided or self-directed study of terrestrial geography. A globe-shaped body is constructed so that major geographical features are represented on detachable appendages. Cues are provided for the proper placement of the appendages on the surfaces of the globe-shaped body, the cues consisting of niches, embossed or printed shapes, or indentations, unambiguously corresponding to the appendages. The globe-shaped body may be build up from a skeletal framework to hold a number of blocks, the blocks together forming a spherical surface. Appropriate portions of geographical features, or portions of cues, are formed on the blocks. A number of means are shown for attaching the blocks to the framework and the segments to the body. A series of embodiments apply the invention to the problems of teaching geography to students with varying or progressing learning skills.
