I am still looking for ideas on how to make a map model of Jamaica?

Modeling clay might work... you can even make your own. \n\nYou also might try using actual rocks and painting them. \n\nRoyal icing is another option - it's very stiff when it dries, and you can color it any shade you like.\n\nYou can cut styrofoam/flower bouquet foam to any shape you like as well.\n\nGood luck!

Build an abacus.  \nArrange 10 beads on a piece of piano wire.  Every fifth bead should be a different collor.\n--oo--oo0-oooo0--\nMake a few more strings and mount them together in parallel or inline with each other.\n------ooooxoooox\nooo----oxoooox--\n--ooooxoo----ooo\n\nA really cool math based model would be a display of geometric shapes.\n\nYou could go to the matherworld site and print out some patterns for the platonic solids.  Then cut them out and fold them together.  The collection can be displayed in a couple of ways.  The easiest would be to mount them on straws poking out from a block of styrofoam.  The most dramatic would be to arrange them to hang in a mobile.  If you want instructions on making a mobile, send an email to samphelps at yahoo.\n\nPlatonic solids are the 3 dimensional shapes where all the sides are the same.  The most familiar is a cube where each side is a square.  Another is the tetrahedron where each side is a triangle.

This is not the sort of thing that can easily be explained online! Find a friend or someone who can give you a short practical lesson.\nThe main things to know are - the scale of the map and what the key means, e.g. blue = water

I'd recommend Playdough (or similar clay material) as the basis.  You can make your own "dough" or buy some.  If you use different color Playdough, you can easily distinguish the parts of the cell.  And you can add paper flags glued to toothpicks to label the different parts (or make a color-coded legend).\n\nIf you find items that you want to have represent cell parts (e.g. threads = filaments, marbles = mitocondria, pipe cleaners = centrosome, etc.) you can just stick that into your clay model.  For things you can't find items for, just make them out of different colored clay. But I think clay as the basis for the cell model makes a lot of sense.

http://educate-yourself.org/fe/fejoewatercell.shtml\nI'm unsure of anything that describes how to really make one.\nThis site tries, but it's rather goofy to follow. Maybe you'll have better luck that I would.

Diamond-Square is a great height-map generation algorithm. It's kind of cool that something that simple could create realistic landscapes.

Um, well, are you talking about drawings or models? Either way they can get pretty intricate. Maybe you ought to make your next question a little more specific we can actually help you.

Use the pastel or whatever the kindergarden kids use.  It is like mud but comes in different colours.  The model should be a representation of the cross-section of your cell.  Use strings and other things to show different structures of the cell.  Some diagrams are drawn in 3D, and that's what your model should look like.  I wish they made us do that in university.  It would be fun.
