science and technology literacy with respect to transportation

while teaching about the modes of transport, first information about ancient methods of transport that is by walking can be given and then the development and innovations in three different modes of transport that is land, water and air can be taught.

The world of automobiles, for example, remained largely unchanged for the first century of its existence, but in the past quarter century, environmental awareness and the high price of oil and gasoline has spurred research and development in cars fueled by alternative sources of fuel. All major auto companies now either have an electric car being developed or on the road, and all have successful gas/electric hybrid models.
Air travel has made more significant advances with the advent of the jet engine in the 1950s. Prior to the jet engine, all planes were prop-engines, which used large propellers to generate the speed and air flow over the wings necessary for flight. With the jet engine, planes could now fly farther and faster and carry larger loads
