In addition to the existing workshops, Rob Farr - The Energy MC2 is developing some exciting new products for schools:

1) Maths Workshop - Population Increase, Consumption and Exponential Growth

For Secondary and Adult audiences, this workshop takes a look at the links between energy, consumption and the EXponential growth of human population. A perfect STEM activity bringing Science and Maths into a real global context.

“I found Rob Farr’s presentation the most informative of the day because of how he related it to real life problems”
“Rob Farr’s presentation was excellent and extremely engaging!”


2) Giant Minibeasts in your school grounds
Developed as part of a creative partnership, this Living things workshop has younger pupils in mind. They may be giant models of insects, spider and Arthropods made of foam, paper mache and pipe cleaners, but they still need to be anatomically correct, and how do the real minibeasts get their energy?

*BOLT ON ACTIVITY* STOP FRAME PHOTOGRAPHY*
Have one of the Energy MC team visit your school To animate the giant minibeasts into a short film.

3)The Sun, planets and the solar system
The size of the sun, the amount of energy it suplies us with and the distances involved are hard for anyone to get their head around. This workshop will cover all this and more, and will include a creative element as well as working out on the school field / playground.


KEEP A LOOK OUT FOR MORE INFORMATION ON THESE EXCITING ACTIVITIES WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE.
