The Train Set

                            Toot toot!

  1. The first lesson uses the  word locomotive to help you learn about motion

  2. Those terms easily combine into locomotion and you begin with your energy within a popular song.

  3. The main train set is circular and you use points to track the engine.  However, the centre will be used by you later making houses etc to fill the centre.

  4. The trains involve their own staff and onboard provision of human needs.  

  5. The main station includes you thinking about the staff, the resting places, snacks, WCs, information etc thereby extending science into everyday life.

  6. Houses need roads, lighting, sewers etc.  You receive an introduction.

  7. If there is an end of year Science Week the main hall can include both train sets placed at a good distance involving tickets, more-than-simple- understanding of points, communication, the difference between passenger and goods traffic, accidents and so on.
