Think of all the different kinds of transportation we use to get from here to there!  Every type of transportation had an inventor, and most have changed a lot from when they were first invented.  Learn how cars, airplanes, helicopters, and submarines were first dreamed up, how they changed over the years, and how they have changed the way we live.

Cars

Cars are probably the most important transportation in our lives because we use them almost every single day.  Find out how they were invented and then improved to become the cars we love today.  See what new technologies cars will use in the future, and learn about the parts of cars, too!

Airplanes

From the Wright Brothers to the jets we travel in today, learn about all the inventors who have worked on improving the airplane!  We even have a video reenactment of the Wrights' first flight.

Helicopters

How else do people fly through the air?  On a helicopter, of course.  Learn how helicopters allow people to do things we could never do in airplanes!

Submarines

Like helicopters, submarines are a very important type of transportation for the military.  Learn how they have helped to win wars, explore the ocean, and more!

Just click on the type of transportation that interests you most to learn about about the inventions that help us get around our neighborhoods, country, and the world!  Then test your knowledge of inventions that move by solving our Transportation Double Puzzle.
