I loved doing the Stemovators project. We got to learn about different types of renewable energies such as: solar, wind and hydropower. I made a poster about water consumption which is how much water you use. I wrote ways that you can help with saving water. A few of them are: using a watering can instead of a hosepipe, using a water butt and placing a cistern devise in the toilet to reduce the amount of water you use in a flush. I enjoyed making the school model, may favourite part was adding all the wooden furniture in the classroom. We made it wooden because it makes it more environmentally friendly. Eilidh P7
I liked doing the salmon work shop. I learnt you dont have to touch the fish to work on a fish farm. I also learnt that reservoirs act as huge batteries in hydropower. Owen P6
When we did Climate Smarter we learnt about renewable energy and how to store it with a battery. We made our own battery using cardboard, copper coins and washers. My favorite part about doing Climate Smarter was making the model and going to Oban to present it to the judges. Aoife P7
In the Climate Smarter project I learnt that 2.2% of the UK power comes from hydro power. Something that I enjoyed was the fish farm activity because it was fub seeing the fish at different stages of its life. Blue P5
The Stemovators project was really fun and we learnt a lot. I learnt about renewable energy and how to produce it. Some renewable sources of energy are solar, wind and hydropower. My favourite part was making the model of a climate smarter school. We added solar panels, a poly tunnel, a water collection system, a bug hotel, trees, flowers and a wind turbine. We also made a lot of lovely posters about renewable energies. I made a poster about wind power. Ross P7
I enjoyed building the school and making the floating wind turbine. We didn’t need it but it was really fun. We used a microbit and it worked successfully and we all played around for a bit and realised you can make different icons.
I learnt that solar panels can power houses and they need a battery to store excess electricity. I learnt that batteries are small containers where controlled chemical reactions can take place.
I learned that there are wind turbines in the middle of the sea. I enjoyed making model wind turbines.
The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child
Article 24 (health and health services)
Every child has the right to the best
possible health. Governments must
provide good quality health care, clean
water, nutritious food, and a clean
environment and education on health
and well-being so that children can stay
healthy. Richer countries must help poorer
countries achieve this.
Article 17 (access to information from the media)
Every child has the right to reliable
information from a variety of sources,
and governments should encourage the
media to provide information that children
can understand. Governments must help
protect children from materials that could harm them
