Predict what would happen if some or all of Melbourne’s transport stopped working.	Form teams and conduct a debate. ‘Should Oaklands have some form of public transport?’
Mathematical I enjoy working with numbers & science	Classify your list into land, sea and air transport.	Research the number of people in a primary class who have used different types of transport recently.	Construct a map of your journey to school each day. Measure the distance in your car / bus.	Explain why we need different types of transport. Identify good points of each.	Create a plan to improve your method of getting to school.	Complete an evaluation of the Melbourne excursion. What were the best things? What could have been better?
