1. Laura Perry EDUG 522 – Section 2 Summer I - 2011

2. Where are you going? How will you get there?

3. “Let’s read and see if we can come up with a definition for what transportation is after we are finished.”

4. What is transportation?Write student responses down here:

5. What is transportation? The moving of something from one place to another; through the air, in the water, and across the land.

6. airplane Sorting into Groups – Part 1 Pass out either a vocabulary or picture cards to each student. Optional: Play music Tell students to find their partner by finding someone with the matching card.

8. Water

10. Water

14. Hands-On Activity #2 Students will create a paper clip alcohol boat and float it in a pool. Students will also test the best methods to move boat from one side of pool to the other.

15. Hands-On Activity #3 Students will make a life-saver/gum car.

16. Further Details about Sorting Vehicles Vehicles can be sorted into groups by their purpose. In the following slides we will see several vehicles in each of the 3 main categories.

17. Air Vehicles Airplane Space shuttle Helicopter Jet plane Hot-air balloon

18. Match the Vocabulary Words with the Pictures Hot air balloonSpace shuttleAirplaneHelicopterJet

19. Air Vehicles and their Purposes A hot air balloon is a type of aircraftthat remains aloft due to its buoyancy. It travels by moving with the wind. A helicopter is an aircraft without wings that obtains its lift from the rotation of overhead blades An airplane is a winged vehicle capable of flight A jet is a large airplane that is moved by jet propulsion A space shuttle is a large aircraft designed to transport astronauts between Earth and an orbiting space station

20. Match the Vocabulary Words and Pictures to the Definitions A winged vehicle capable of flightAn airplane moved by jet propulsionA spacecraft designed to transport astronauts between Earth and an orbiting space station An aircraft without wings that obtains its lift from the rotation of overhead blades A type of aircraftthat remains aloft due to its buoyancy.

21. Water Vehicles Motor boat Canoe Sail boat Submarine Tugboat Ship

22. Match the Vocabulary Words with the Pictures Canoe Sail BoatMotor BoatTugboatShipSubmarine

23. Water Vehicles and their Purposes A canoe is a small, light boat propelled by paddles. A sailboat is a boat that goes across water without an engine. It moves as the wind pushes the sails. A medium-sized boat that is powered by a motor a large boat that can be used in war time or peace time to allow people to cruise to far places

24. Water Vehicles and their Purposes (cont.) A tugboat is a small boat that pulls a larger boat from one place to another in the water. A submarine is an underwater boat that takes people from one place to another and can’t be seen from above the water.

26. Land Vehicles Jeep Horse Bicycle Car Bus Dump truck Train

27. Match the Vocabulary Words with the Pictures BicycleTrainCarBusDump TruckJeepHorse

28. Land Vehicles and their Purposes A horse is an animal used as a vehicle that people used to get from one place to another when it was to far to walk. It can also be used to pull a wagon. A bicycle is used to get from one place to another. It will get you where you are going faster than walking. Cars or automobiles are used to move people greater distances then they want to walk or ride their bike. A jeep is like a car but can go up and over hills and sand dunes, unlike regular cars.

29. Land Vehicles and their Purposes (cont.) A dump truck is a truck that is used by construction workers to move building materials to job sites. A bus is used to move larger numbers of people than a regular car. Trains move people and things over great distances and greater speeds. A train runs on a track.

30. Match the Words and Pictures to the Definitions A horse is an animal used as a vehicle that people used to get from one place to another when it was to far to walk. It can also be used to pull a wagon.a 2-wheeled vehicle that requires peddlingA vehicle that takes only a few people from one place to anothera vehicle that transports a lot of people from one place to anothera vehicle that rides on a track and transports many people and goodsa vehicle like a car that can go off the regular roada vehicle that construction workers use t o move their construction materials and supplies BicycleTrainCarBusDump TruckJeepHorse

31. Activity - Class book -Transportation Vehicles Students can go to the computers as part of the rotation as they finish crafting their vehicles, or go to the computer lab as a group and look up and write about one of the following vehicles including the name of the vehicle, where it travels, and their purposes. The student will include a self-drawn picture. Car Hot-air balloon Boat Truck Bus Space shuttle Canoe Cruise ship Van Dump truck Motor boat Tug boat

32. Review:Using the words in the box, fill in the blanks with the correct words. Tugboat motor boat bicycle dump truck hot air balloon bus canoe sail boat A ________ is a small boat that pulls or pushes larger ships or barges. A_________ a small boat that is powered by sails. A _________ is a vehicle that transports a lot of people from one place to another on the ground. A __________ is a vehicle that requires peddling. A __________ is a type of aircraft that remains aloft due to its buoyancy. It travels by moving with the wind.

33. Mini-Assessment Cut out Vehicle pictures and glue under correct column.

34. History of TransportationAway We Go: All About Transportation Video Show video from Discovery Streaming Click on airplane to show video

36. Day 5 and 6 – Additional Video ResourcesWatch one or more of the following movies showing the History of Transportation. Click on picture to link to video. History of Transportation: Automobiles and Trucks History of Transportation: Railroads History of Transportation: Airplanes History of Transportation: Ships

37. Questions to Answer:Handout worksheet(s) with questions and have students answer questions during each of the movies: Sample questions: What was the earliest form of transportation? When was the wheel invented? How did people get around before the wheel was invented? When and by whom was the car invented? When and by whom was the airplane invented? When and by whom was the boat invented? When and by whom was the train invented?

38. Transportation Time LineAfter reviewing the movies and going over the questions from the worksheet about the movies, students will create a timeline showing at least 6 main events in the history of transportation.

39. Day 7 -12+ Station 1 – Construction-Transportation Game Board Students will create cards and a game board- game must include factual information about transportation. (Worksheet – pg. 39 Transportation – Instructional Fair, Inc.) Station 2 – Writing Acrostic Poems- Studentswill create acrostic poems using the name of one of the modes of transportation. Shapely Poems -Students will create Vehicle Shaped Poems describing the vehicle of choice Worksheet – pg. 17 (Transportation – Instructional Fair, Inc.)

40. Station 3 - Math -Types of Transportation Tally Chart and Bar Graphs Students will look through an entire magazine and count and tally the vehicles in each of the 3 categories and then create a bar graph.
