Hello, young learners! Welcome back to Primary 4 Basic Science And Technology. In our previous lesson, we learned about Products of Technology at Home. Today, we’re going to learn about the Product Of Technology In Transportation.
Objectives
By the end of this lesson, you should be able to: * Identify technological products in transportation. * Watch films and ask questions about transportation technology.
Product Of Technology In Transportation
Technology plays a vital role in transportation, making it faster, safer, and more efficient.
What is Transportation Technology?
Transportation technology refers to the use of scientific knowledge and tools to design, build, and operate vehicles and systems for moving people and goods from one place to another.
Products of Technology in Transportation
There are many examples of how technology has improved transportation, such as:
- Automobiles (Cars): Cars have evolved with technology, from basic models to modern vehicles with advanced features like GPS, safety systems, and electric or hybrid options.
- Bicycles: Technology has improved bicycles with features such as lightweight materials, gears, and even electric-assist bikes.
- Trains: The technological advancements in trains, including high-speed trains, magnetic levitation trains, and the use of computer systems for scheduling and safety.
- Buses: Technology has made buses more efficient and eco-friendly with innovations like hybrid and electric buses, as well as systems for tracking and scheduling.
- Airplanes: Airplanes have become safer and more fuel-efficient due to advancements like jet engines, aerodynamic design, and navigation systems.
