Water Transport Mat

Isn’t it fun to Travel on Water?

Water transport is an important mode of transportation for carrying people and goods across water bodies. Ships, ferries, row boats, speed boats, yachts, submarines, and sailboats are some examples of water transport. These mediums use various sources like coal, petroleum, and chemicals to move passengers and goods from one place to another. However, ships are the most commonly used water transport. Although water transport is a popular way to travel, it is also considered the slowest mode of transportation. Despite the slow pace, it remains a significant means of transport, particularly for moving large quantities of goods.

This is an age-appropriate mat that has some examples of water transport. Depending on the age of kids, teachers can increase the complexity and make kids learn about water transport.
