Broad Goals/Rationale
I chose these terms, facts, and principles because I want the students to know that transportation does not always mean cars and buses.
At Franklin there are some students who walk to school instead of riding the bus or riding in a car.
There are some students who ride their bike. I also want them to see that different types of transportation have different uses, such as the fact that an airplane may not only transport people, but it also is used to ship animals or goods.
Technology Activities
Google Expeditions for exploring the inside of cars
