Room 4 - How has the world changed - Transport

Bikes
The first bike was made out of wood but today they are made of metal.
They sat on the bike and pushed along with the feet while todays bikes have pedals.

Housework
It took all day to do the washing. First Great Grandma had to light a fire under the copper to get hot water. Then she had to push the clothes up and down with a long stick to get them clean. Next she put them through a mangle to get soapy water out before rinsing them in cold water. Then she had to put them through the mangle again before whe could hang the washing out.
Today we have a washing machine and push the start button.
