From cart to car rides, see the transformations in transport!

Join your guide from the year 1900 and go on a journey to explore the differences between ‘then’ and now, the past and present, horse carts and cars. This hands-on learning activity allows your students to examine real car parts from today and assist in harnessing a horse and cart from 1900. What comparisons will they make?

In this program, your Year 2 students will:
✔ Explore how transport technology and travel of the pass differs from what is used today.
✔ Compare and contrast modes of transport from the past and present.
✔ Have hands-on learning experience with real museum objects.
