Workshop Summary

Tyne and Wear has a large transport system including a bus network, Metro and an international airport. In this session, students will learn about how transport has changed over time by exploring the galleries of the Discovery Museum. The Children will investigate materials and have the opportunity to do an observational drawing in the gallery. The class will then have the opportunity to consider which materials would be the most suitable for making an air-powered vehicle in a group-making challenge.
