Transporting London to the future

London relies on continual innovation in transportation as its population and increases. New technologies are necessary to improve the travelling experience for Londoners in terms of speed, safety and reduced negative environmental impact. Students will design their London transportation of the future utilising ideas they have learned in the previous Discover and Explore sessions of this unit.

Students could be able to quantify the energy efficiency of their vehicles. They should be able to explain how their futuristic vehicle will be energy efficient and reduce levels of pollution. Students must be able to design a futuristic vehicle that meets agreed criteria.

This resource is part of a full set of lessons looking at how forces and energy, both big ideas in physics, play a major role in London’ s transport network found here
