The boys and girls from P3-7 were delighted to have welcomed two representatives from Glasgow Science Centre today on their roadshow ‘Future Fuels’! They started of the afternoon with a brief introduction to explain what the plan, the boys and girls were very pleased this was pretty quick because all of the equipment they had brought along was looking very fascinating.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

They kicked off with a little demonstration of how fuel was created and harnessed in the past and why now it is so important that we find renewable energy sources instead. To show us why it’s important that we make this change they showed us an experiment involving methanol and the fire triangle and why it required oxygen, heat and fuel to work. The boys are girls were amazed at how only a very, very small amount of methanol can make sure a loud bang and this demonstrated how dangerous and destructive these fuels can be for our environment!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Next we took part in lots of different practical activities and had fun exploring and investigating different renewable energy sources called \u2600\ufe0f\ud83c\udf0a\u267b\ufe0f-\u00a0<\/span>
\nThe windmill Kit<\/span>
\nDirectional Drilling<\/span>
\nSolar Array<\/span>
\nCrank Power
\n<\/span>50 Hz<\/span>
\n3 Phase Generator<\/span>
\nHand Crank Generator<\/span>
\nHydrogen Launcher<\/span><\/p>\n

which blew our minds, made us think and\u00a0 opened our eyes to the world of renewables in the future! A big thank you to the team from Glasgow Science Centre – what a fab afternoon we had \ud83d\ude42!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
