What Is Transportation?

• Transportation is the way people and goods move from one place to another.
• It helps us travel to school, visit our friends, and send things to different cities.
• There are three main ways to travel: by land, by water, and by air.

Types of Transportation

• Land Transport – Vehicles that move on roads or tracks, such as cars, buses, bicycles, and trains.
• Water Transport – Vehicles that move across oceans, rivers, and lakes, such as ships, boats, and submarines.
• Air Transport – Vehicles that fly through the sky, such as airplanes, helicopters, and hot air balloons.

Why Do We Need Transportation?

• Saving Time – Faster vehicles like planes and trains help us reach distant places very quickly.
• Moving Goods – Trucks and ships carry food, clothes, and toys to shops so we can buy them.
• Daily Travel – We use transport every day to go to work, school, or the market.
• Emergencies – Ambulances and fire trucks use transportation to help people in trouble fast.

Transportation Examples

• Using a bicycle or a school bus to reach school every morning.
• Traveling in a large ship to carry heavy containers across the sea.
• Flying in an airplane to go to another country in just a few hours.
• Taking a train to travel between two different cities.

Lesson Summary

• Transportation is essential for connecting people and moving things around the world.
• The three modes of transport are land, water, and air.
• Each mode uses different vehicles depending on the distance and the path of travel.
