Answer for children of age 11-15

Before cars, transportation evolved over centuries. In ancient times, people walked or rode animals like horses, camels, and elephants 🐘. The invention of the wheel led to chariots and carts pulled by animals.

In the 19th century, steamboats 🚒 and trains revolutionized travel. Bicycles became common, and horse-drawn carriages were used in cities. Early experiments with steam-powered vehicles eventually led to the first cars in the late 1800s.

Different cultures used unique methodsβ€”like sled dogs πŸ• in the Arctic or gondolas in Venice!

🌟 Fun fact!

Did you know? The first steam-powered vehicle was built in 1769 and could only go 2.5 mph! πŸš—

πŸ’‘Advice for parents

Discuss how technology changed travel. Compare past and present speeds and comfort. Mention cultural differences in transportation.
