Thursday 10th July saw 27 of our students from across years 7, 8 and 9 set off to Darlington to participate in a Net Zero Workshop morning. Upon arriving at Teesside University's Atom centre they went straight to the first session on the role of carbon and where carbon is emitted from.
Students then undertook 2 small activities - the first working out how much carbon was produced in everyday items such as a Big Mac and then a team tower building contest.
Following on from this we went to our second workshop where students learnt about the current carbon capture and storage project that is being undertaken in our local area.
Students were able to participate in a small scientific experiment showing how the carbon could be collected and then had a go at project managing; looking at the actual construction element of the project.
Students showed a great attitude towards their learning, with many volunteering answers and several standing up to share their understanding with their peers and other schools.
A big thank you to Mrs. Blacklock for organising this trip and a huge thank you to the students for their exemplary behaviour and attitude towards learning! ... See MoreSee Less
