Renewables Don't Run Out
Produced by CIEC Promoting Science, these resources help to put curriculum science in a real life context. The activities provide opportunities for children to consider the use of plant material (biomass) for renewable energy. They go on to look at some of the problems that using biomass can pose and to think about other applications for plant-derived materials.
The activities include:
• Looking at crops for food and non-food purposes
• Burning of different fuels
• Transport of different plant fuels
• Extracting oil from seeds and nuts
• Separating oil and water mixtures
• Plant oils as lubricants.
The activities are supported by extensive teacher guidance and children's activity sheets.
HEALTH and SAFETY
Any use of a resource that includes a practical activity must include a risk assessment.
Please note that collections may contain ARCHIVE resources, which were developed at a much earlier date.
Since that time there have been significant changes in the rules and guidance affecting laboratory practical work.
Further information is provided in our Health and Safety guidance.
