Trains, Planes

 and Automobiles

Together we will look at different modes of transport, how they run, and imagine how they might be imagined with the future and environment in mind. 

How many kinds of transport
can you name? (Clue- think of examples with no wheels too!)

What are some of the problems caused by transport?

Fossil Fuels and Non Renewables

Fossil fuel is a generic term for non-renewable energy sources such as coal, coal products, natural gas, derived gas, crude oil, petroleum products and non-renewable wastes. These fuels originate from plants and animals that existed in the geological past (for example, millions of years ago)

When fossil fuels are burned, they release gases into the atmosphere which can cause smog and acid rain- causing damage to the environment. 

Which two answers are examples of renewable energy sources?

1. Wind energy
2. Oil
3. Solar energy
4. Coal

Which two are examples of fossil or non renewable energy sources?

1. Hydrothermal energy
2. Turf
3. Natural gas
4. Wave Energy

What are some ways
to reduce traffic?

How do you travel the most?

On foot

By car

Discuss

As we learn more about taking care of our planet, new ways to travel may emerge. 

Imagine and discuss what this might look like
