Living Lab: Climate Action
This webpage hosts all the resources to run Living Lab: Climate action.
For each session, there are details on how to make progress and what to record to make it easy to submit for a CREST silver award.
The flooding topic will form part of the University of Cambridge visit! Feel free to take a look for a sneak preview:
Themes
There are 2 themes to investigate to make your school more climate resilient.
- Energy saving using smart sensors
- Flood resilience
Your investigations in school will focus on energy saving. It is fine to do this as part of a STEM club or class, or work self-paced and independently. The resources are set up so that you can do either.
At the end of each episode there is a slide detailing how that section links to CREST criteria, to make compiling a CREST project and your final poster straightforward.
For each episode you will find:
Google folder containing any additional resources – e.g. poster template AND Powerpoint slides for each session (if you prefer to present or just work through as a group). These contain weblinks if you want to follow-up any resources mentioned.
Video – feel free to pause at each section while you work through.
