Surbiton Science Workshop

Year 5 attended an amazing science workshop on Wednesday 4th March at Surbiton High School. It was about Sustainability. We learned that balancing fire safety and environmental sustainability is important. Stepping back in time, we learned about the first energy generator discovered by the famous scientist - Michael Faraday (aka ‘Father of Electricity’) - and reflecting on innovative ways of generating electricity today through the use of Wind Turbines and Hydroelectricity. Year 5 was awed by the scientist holding fire in her hand. Some children were lucky to be selected to participate – one pupil manually generated electricity, while another used a special powder to light a fire!
