Over the term we have taken part in 2 workshops provided by Lab Rascals. The first workshop focused on CO 2 and the Environment’. This educated the children on the properties of CO 2 and highlight what a carbon footprint is. During this workshop chemists from the local renewable energy sector discussed their roles within the sector and career pathways. During the second workshop the children built an electric LEGO® car, with a battery using wind and solar energy. We are really looking forward to our third workshop focusing on ‘Insulating a home’.
