MOTAT | School Trip

LI: To learn about technology and transportation.

MOTAT stands for museum of transport and technology. We went on a school trip at motat to learn about STEAM (Science, Technology, Engeneering, Arts & Mathematics). We explored motat in groups first. We saw lots of old things like trams, stocks, telecommunications, printshops, an old village, computers, cars, fire station, trampoline, classroom, church & a prison.

After exploring we did an activity on how to make flashlights with two other people. We had an LED light, connecting blocks, motors, cogs, axles, stoppers & a base to make the flashlight. Our first task was to make the LED light to work. After we've done that we had to make a flashlight.

The next activity after making the flashlights were to make an electic car. We used: cardboard, scissors, tape, wheels, axels, and a motor. We had to get the positve wire and connect it to the opposite direction and then get the negative wire and connect it to the other direction. I enjoyed making a flashlight and an electric car.
