(ii) Make a globe with the help of 'Plastic Ball'

To make a globe using a plastic ball, follow these steps:

1. Gather Materials: You will need a plastic ball (e.g., a play ball), a printed world map (preferably one designed for globes, often in 'gore' sections), scissors, glue, and optionally, a stand.
2. Prepare the Map: If your map is not already in gores (curved sections), you may need to carefully cut it into strips or sections that can conform to the spherical shape of the ball.
3. Apply the Map: Carefully apply glue to the back of each map section and smooth it onto the plastic ball, ensuring that the continents and oceans align correctly to form a complete world map.
4. Dry and Finish: Allow the glue to dry completely. You can then add a clear protective coating if desired. If you have a stand, attach the finished globe to it.
