Did you check the site I posted about bus safety? That has some activities.
Well to me I think you could just tell your 3rd graders to do a report so they could learn more, or you could just tell them to go to the library and check out a book about it, but make sure you let them prove that they actually read the book.
How about having each student write an illustrated book about New York's public transportation?
Have you considered a field trip: Subway to the ferry, ferry to Staten Island, or such?
Build a train tunnel after doing some research. Then get one of the fathers to set up a model train that will run through the tunnel. The research on the subways will be a good place to start, but tell them the purpose is to build a mini subway.
Hope my idea worked!
