How Have Tanks Evolved Over The Years? By: Matthew

What do I Know?

I know that previous tanks have been fast but Germans tanks have been some of the best tanks.  Take the Tiger II for example (Tank in the upper left) that tank was in World War II that had thick armor a good gun and pretty good speed for a tank with that amount of armor.  Or the Maus some of it's armor is more than a foot thick and it's thinnest armor is more than a inch thick.  It has a good gun too, because it's long and it's very strong.  American tanks were not always on the top of the list, but now America's tank's are close or at the top of the list.  Some of British's tanks have been fast and have a good gun like the Crusader, it's fast and can fire multiple bullets at once, or you can take the Matilda for example it has good armor against certain bullets.  The tanks from Russia are fast and some of them have good armor and some of the slower tanks have better guns.  Some tanks are designed for different thing like some tanks can carry bridges and put them over obstacles that tanks can't get over, or some of them are designed to carry troops, others are designed for combat, and other are designed to go in water.   

What did I Learn?

I learned that Russia made a tank that could be dropped out of a plane, the fastest tank ever was the S 2000 Scorpion Peacekeeper. 

What do I Want to Know?

I want to know the statistics of old tanks and new tanks and compare them scientifically to figure out witch one is better.  

What Action did I Take?

I made a website about it I also went on youtube and I also looked up images on it.

How Will I Learn the Information?

I will learn the information by going on YouTube and go to a park where they have live tanks to climb on and go on websites.

What Questions do I Still Have?

I still want to know what it was like inside the tank and how it was like to live on one.  I also want to know how much a tank armor can with stand.

Reflection:  I liked this project because it was fun and I was interested in the project, and it was fun learning all the statistics of them I also liked learning about the tanks in different countries.  The hard part was finding the sats about them, it was also hard finding the right information for the tank and finding the right tank.  I thought the website was was fun, but it was hard to get all the information.  But overall it was fun.
