Do air convection currents really move as they are drawn in textbook illustrations? Let’s make invisible convection currents visible using mist.
Explore the everyday science behind the quest to harness fusion energy – the energy that powers the stars – in a safe way here on Earth.
Can we meet all our energy needs with renewables? How can energy models help us to explore the future of energy? And how can we all become part of the energy transition?
Pocketful of sunshine: build a solar cooker and learn about the thermoelectric effect with Peltier modules.
Recent results from EUROfusion’s JET experiment have demonstrated sustained high fusion power for the first time. These ground-breaking results could pave the way for fusion energy to play a key role in tackling climate change.
Silly or serious? Rube Goldberg machines are not only a lot of fun but can help students to understand the principles of conservation and transfer of energy.
Could leftover nutshells be the next renewable energy source? Challenge your students to find out using calorimetry.
Measuring the temperature inside a fusion reactor is no easy task. Find out how it’s done – and even simulate it in the classroom.
“If we don’t protect our environment, we won’t have one,” say Carolina, 13, from Portugal.
