Offshore Wind Learning for schools
To attract people into offshore wind we’ve been asked to create a version for schools and specifically 11-14 year-olds. At that age students make their fundamental career choices e.g. to follow sciences or humanities. Well, with help from an excellent headteacher, we’ve done it!
The course has been distilled into 12 lesson plans plus a scheme of work, so teachers have a ready-made resource with which they can inspire their pupils.
The intent is for the lessons to be presented under the topic of Climate Science, but some lessons could be used in Physics, Geography, Design and Technology, Economics, etc. The material is suitable for use in any country in the world, rather than tailored to a particular national curriculum.
The main Offshore Wind Learning course is also available, suitable for bright sixth formers i.e. 16-18 year-olds.
