Transport workshop<\/p>\n

At the workshop we thought about how our transport is powered.
\nWe had a good knowledge of horse, steam, electric and wind powered transport.<\/p>\n

We sketched the penny farthing and identified the differences and similarities to this bike and our own.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We also learned that the name penny farthing refers to the similarity of the wheels to the coins of the same name.<\/p>\n

Then we went to the tram. It had no glass in the windows. This design was only used in Glasgow for 8 years. Can you guess why?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then we visited the Horse and cart and had another sketch challenge.<\/p>\n

We found out the horse powered transport made the streets very smelly.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Next on the subway we found out that Glasgow has the third oldest subway in the world. Have you been on it?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then we found glider which is wind powered.<\/p>\n

The glider was inspired by bats. The first working glider was built by Percy Pilcher, who lived in Glasgow.<\/p>\n

Ella Pilcher, his sister was a seamstress. She sewed all the parts of the glider.
\nThey tested the gliders in Helensburgh.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

They flew for 7 seconds.<\/p>\n

Then we went to the workshop and made our own transport creations.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We also had time to explore.<\/p>\n
