Learning about 'Green Energy' at the Glasgow Science Centre



Learning all about energy!



ALN Glasgow Science Centre Visit 31 January 2013 


We were all happy to arrive and escape the elements on a very wet and windy day! 

We had a very interesting morning at the Science Centre, learning about types of renewable & non-renewable energy and thinking about how much energy we use in our own homes.  We discussed ways that we could save energy and become more “Green”.


After a lovely lunch, we went to see some of the exhibits including the Tower of Power!  We saw how much manual power was needed to power every day appliances. It was good fun with surprising results!


Tower of Power
We saw some more exhibits most of which were interactive and related to energy such as a mini tornado and a plasma ball.
Giant snails & cockroaches!

It was a fantastic day and we thank WEA and the Glasgow Science Centre and look forward to our next session!
