Lesson plan
Show the Presentation: Transport sort.
Remind the children that they have compared toys from now and the past (History, Year 1, How have toys changed? Lesson 4: What is similar and different about toys now and in the past?).
Explain that transport is how people get from one place to another. Ask the children to sort each picture into past and present. Then compare the images and discuss how transport has changed over time, for example, the materials used, the power source and the distance it can travel.
