Science and the Environment

The Science of Renewable Energy

This programme combines both Science and Design & Technology elements in a hands-on, visual way. Their challenge is to plan, design, construct and test wind turbines and solar powered buggies. By the end of the workshop they will discover who has created the most powerful turbine by connecting each one to a volt-meter with LED readings; whilst their solar powered buggies will participate in a 'winner takes all' race.

MACC (Me and Climate Change)

MACC is the planet's environmental superhero, fighting the ongoing battle against climate change. This fun, hands-on, programme helps pupils understand more about climate change and the issues surrounding it in an exciting interactive mixture of theory and hands-on experiments looking at climate change, energy, sustainability and the three R’s (Reducing, Reusing and Recycling). This is a flexible programme that can be delivered to a class or larger size groups and fitted into the school's timetabled day.
