Introduction Transport is the carrying of goods and people from one place to another. The history of transport is largely one of technological innovation. Advances in technology have allowed people to travel farther, explore more territory, and expand their influence over larger and larger areas. Even in ancient times, new tools such as foot coverings, skis, and snowshoes lengthened the distances that could be travelled. As new inventions and discoveries were applied to transport problems, travel time decreased while the ability to move more and larger loads increased. Innovation continues as transport researchers are working to find new ways to reduce costs and increase transport efficiency

Task

You will be divided into four groups namely: 1. Team 2. Team 3. Team 4. Team tala simba fisi jkl

IN YOUR GROUPS RESEARCH ON THE FOLLOWING: • • • DEFINE THE TERM TRANSPORT? IDENTIFY VARIOUS EARLY FORMS OF WATER TRANSPORT HUMAN PORTRAGE Definition of human porterage. Advantages and disadvantages of human porterage ANIMAL TRANSPORT Identify various pack animals State advantages of animal transport disadvantages of animal transport WATER TRANSPORT Identify early vessels that where used in water transport State limitations of early forms of water transport

• You will work collaboratively to do research from the internet, text books and the community around the school. • The results of your inquiry will be presented using MS Power. Point and MS Word to the class. • Your work will be evaluated and your findings shared to the rest of the members of the class. • The best team will get a 3 litres of yoghurt.

Resources ICT

Resources – Non-ICT Blackboard & chalk History Bk 2 text books, Charts Pointer Library, Newspapers , Magazines, Photographs, School environment, Pen,

You will visit the near by village and identify early forms of transport Identify means of transport in that village Also interview members of the community around the school to know the disadvantages and disadvantages of early forms of transport You will take pictures of human porterage , animals used in transport and early water vessels used in transport to be used in creation of a digital photo story together with ones you’ll get on internet. You will also do your research in the library by perusing through textbooks and magazines on early forms of transport.

You will explore the links below to gain an understanding about water pollution • https: //youtu. be/LDwhq. Ev. BAn.

Guidance • Each team presents their findings. • We will then discuss with the whole class whether the research questions were answered and which ones remain unanswered.

Project presentation It will involve four stages. 1. Exposition and launch of the project through webquest slides – 1 lesson - Teacher and Students 2. Conduction of project work primarily by students with assistance from Teacher. 3 lessons. 3. Compilation of presentation slides and materials – 1 lesson. 4. Presentation, evaluation, reflection and ranking of group work – 1 slessons

Evaluation • The teacher announces the results and winning team, illustrating the strengths and weaknesses of each team, the learning points, their innovativeness and why one takes the lead. • Teacher engages the students in sharing of the learning outcomes, materials generated and next steps. • We’ll use the evaluation rubric below.

Conclusion- Reflection • Transport apply in every part of human live. We have various means of transport in our society that help us to move goods and services form one area to another
