This resource is a PDF file of a transport activity where students have to sort out different types of transport into a Venn diagram. This resource is three pages long. The first page provides the Venn diagram for students to glue the pictures into. The second page contains all of the transport pictures the students need to sort and the third page is an answer sheet for the teacher. This activity leads to some good discussion point about the transport types that overlap in the Venn diagram eg students can discuss how hot air balloons were used for transport originally as to how they are used now (mostly for tourism activities). Students can also discuss why the transport types they sorted into ‘old’ are no longer used by most people. This resource could also be used as an assessment activity.
