‘The Energy Challenge’: Workshop by Leaps and Bounds

Measuring different outputs in different conditions

Today with the finiteness of our resources more obvious than ever, it’s imperative to understand our energy usage – how we make it, store it, use it and how we can conserve it.

The children made fossil fuel formation models and studied our energy patterns.
