Land, water & air transport

Answers and reasoning. Review before teaching.

1. What is a sheltered area of water where boats and ships dock safely to load passengers and cargo: a harbour (or port) or a hangar?
Harbour (or port)
Harbours and ports protect moored vessels from open-ocean waves.
2. What safety strap must drivers and passengers fasten across their chest and lap inside a car or bus: a seatbelt or a shoelace?
Seatbelt
Seatbelts keep passengers securely in their seats during sudden stops.
3. Which emergency road vehicle has flashing lights and a siren to carry paramedics and patients quickly to hospital: an ambulance or a tractor?
Ambulance
Ambulances provide urgent medical transport to hospitals.
4. At a pedestrian crossing, what are the black-and-white stripes painted across the road called: a zebra crossing or a runway?
Zebra crossing
A zebra crossing gives pedestrians a marked place to cross the street safely.
5. How does a sailboat move across the water without using a fuel engine: the wind pushes against its sails, or horses pull it?
The wind pushes against its sails
Sails capture wind energy to propel a sailboat across the water.
6. Which form of transport uses zero fuel, makes no smoke, and exercises your legs on short trips: walking (or cycling) or flying in a jet?
Walking (or cycling)
Walking and cycling are human-powered active transport.
7. What floating marker anchored in a channel shows boat captains the safe deep-water route through a lagoon or harbour: a navigation buoy (or beacon) or a postbox?
Navigation buoy (or beacon)
Channel buoys and beacons mark reefs, shoals and safe shipping lanes.
8. Which vehicle runs on two parallel steel rails and pulls carriages between stations: a train or a lorry?
Train
Trains run along railway tracks to carry hundreds of passengers or heavy freight.
9. Does a passenger ferry travel on land, on water, or in the air?
On water
A ferry is a boat or ship that carries passengers and cargo across water.
10. Why are giant container ships used to transport goods like grain, clothing and electronics across oceans: one ship can carry thousands of containers efficiently over long sea routes, or ships fly over mountains?
One ship can carry thousands of containers efficiently over long sea routes
Maritime container shipping has the lowest energy use per tonne-kilometre for bulk ocean trade.
11. At a traffic light, what colour light tells drivers to come to a complete STOP: red or green?
Red
Red means stop; amber means prepare to stop; green means proceed with caution if the way is clear.
12. Which special aircraft has floats (pontoons) instead of wheels so it can take off from and land on a calm lagoon: a seaplane or a submarine?
Seaplane
Seaplanes connect island communities by landing directly on sheltered water.
