This is a treasure-trove of multimedia resources to help your scholars analyze transportation methods. They discuss different forms of movement, utilizing several infographics to spur conversation deeper and get visual learners engaged. A video on the future of air transport reveals the NextGen technology and why the FAA feels it is necessary. Partners compare and contrast two forms of transportation on a Venn diagram and then create infographics to synthesize their research. There are plenty of links here to extend this lesson and meet multiple objectives, and everything is included.
