Quick summary: In this activity students investigate the types of transport used by students in their class. Students begin the activity by participating in a brainstorming session around transport and then find out how other students get to school. They then draw a map of the route that they personally take to school, including the transport they use. Students present their maps to the class.
This lesson can be used when working on the Energy Module of the ResourceSmart AuSSI Vic program.
