The Evolution Of Scooters



Introduction

Have you ever wondered what scooters used to be like?



Well Scooters have changed a lot since they were first invented. Did you know the first scooter was invented by kids? Scooters have gone from wooden frames with roller skates for wheels to electric scooters controlled by your phone. You may have seen a lava, beam, lime or flamingo scooter on the footpath, these are electric scooters placed by people, so others can get to places without walking.




Appearance

Scooters have changed a lot over the years especially in appearance, scooters have changed colours textures and even wheels. Designs have changed too like how if you get a normal scooter one that you control by yourself (not electric) and compare it to a lime scooter (an electric scooter) the setup will look very different like a lime scooter is wider and bigger and won't fall over while riding, where a normal scooter will be smaller. Have you ever seen 2 scooters of different colours right next to each other, well if you haven’t often schools or parks will have a few scooters there. Scooters will feel different sometimes because of their textures, a texture is how something feels like something might be scratchy or smooth that would be a texture and a scooters handlebars or stand that you put your feet on might be textured. Scooters have changed multiple times, but it is possible many more changes in appearances are coming.




Types

Scooters have changed in types over the years. Scooters started out with scooters you probably will have seen which is a kick scooter, the scooter you propel by pushing your foot on the ground. A scooter you might have seen is an electric scooter that includes lime, beam, lava & flamingo scooters. These are scooters controlled by devices and the 4 electric scooters mentioned above are controlled by an app on your phone. You also may have heard of a moped a sort of motorbike like scooter it's a type of scooter used on roads because of its similarities to a motorbike.






History

Scooters have a long line of history because they were invented in 1817. Most people own kick scooters because electric scooters are expensive. Electric scooters often found on a sidewalk have been around for quite a while too. Scooters are also used for racing even though they aren’t as fast as motorbike or cars they are still used for racing. Scooters are now for not only kids nowaday as well, this means adults use them as well.



Conclusion

Scooters are an often human powered vehicle used to make getting from place to place easier, do you use a scooter to get from place to place faster?

Hey readers,
Today for health we did a Venn Diagram of what we had in common with another person. I found it harder to find differences but me and Treyvon managed to find similarities very easily, like we both liked reading books, we both like gaming & we both like to do math. I found this activity really fun because i got to learn what i had in common with someone else. Have you ever done something like this? comment to tell me.

pancake proportions - math

For math we made pancake proportions and ratios where we were given a recipe to make 6 pancakes and then we had to list the ingredients we would use to make 3 pancakes so we had to half 6, and the next one was tom make 12 pancakes so we had to double the recipe for 6, and the last one was 30 pancakes 5x6=30 so we had to time the recipe by 5. we got all of them correct (we think)

Keeping it in balance - inquiry & health

Today for health we did keeping it in balance.

We had to use a pie chart (from google sheets) and answer a few questions about our balance e.g Do i have a good balance in my life?

To keep this in balance we need to keep a check on:

• What we eat
• How much exercise we get 
• how we keep our brain active
• how we relate to our family and friends
• how we spend time alone

I have a pretty good balance what about you?
