| Description | Guided by a worksheet and either using paper maps or online Google Maps, student teams compute and compare the time it takes to travel between two sets of cities (two near each other, two far from each other) via several different modes of transportation including trucks, trains and airplanes. The pervasiveness of aircraft in our world has decreased the amount of time it takes to transport people and cargo. Guided by a worksheet and either using paper maps or online Google Maps, student teams compute and compare the time it takes to travel between two sets of cities (two near each other, two far from each other) via several different modes of transportation including trucks, trains and airplanes. Then they do some critical thinking to come to some conclusions about why airplanes are not always the transport option of choice. |
