Good morning, It seems like it may start raining her at any moment so this morning Charlie and I have to let you know it is
Friday, April 13, 2018, and time for a Virtual Field Trip! We would like to invite you to join us this morning as we check out a new Homeschool Resource Toyota Children’s Web Site.
Age Range: All (All grades; children with parental supervision)
Start your engines of learning with this page on the more significant children’s website from Toyota.
Through illustrated diagrams, texts, images, and animations, visitors will discover what is involved in the process of making an automobile.
There are a couple of ways to take your tour. Either use the flowchart image or the left sidebar menu to navigate through the various steps of making a car:
- Research and Development of New Cars
-
- Planning
- Design, Planning, and Manufacture of Prototypes
- Numerous Tests
- Production and Sales
-
- First Steps
- Stamping
- Welding
- Painting
- Building the Engine
- Suppliers
- Assembly
- Inspections
- Transportation
- Sales
There is also a link to see a “video clip of production in action,” but when reviewing the site, our browsers did not pull it up as it said it was unsecured. However, the link to the video can be watched on YouTube here with no problem.
After going through the tour, check out the other parts of this children’s website to learn about environmentally-friendly and people-friendly automobiles as well as more about the Toyota Motor Company.
We also located a 5-minute video tour of the Toyota Plant in Georgetown, Kentucky to add to your virtual field trip. This advertising video presentation provides an overview of the manufacturing plant in Kentucky and an overview of the assembly process.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie, and David Cates
