Classroom Note:
Modern means of transportation
- Automobiles (Land): Cars and buses are common land vehicles powered by engines. They transport people across short and medium distances quickly.
- Trains (Land): Trains run on tracks and can carry a large number of passengers or goods over long distances efficiently.
- Airplanes (Air): Air transport is the fastest way to travel long distances. Airplanes fly at high altitudes and speeds.
- Ships (Water): Ships are used for carrying passengers and goods across seas and oceans. They are vital for international trade.
Evaluation Questions:
- Name two modern means of transportation that operate on land.
- Why is air transportation important?
- What is one benefit of using ships for transportation?
