The Sustainability Show KS1 - 4

This interactive presentation cuts through the myths and misperceptions surrounding waste and energy.

Using up-to-date independent research The Sustainability Show demonstrates the science behind Reducing, Reusing and Recycling and other environmental practises. Food miles, carbon footprints and consumer choice are all investigated using practical demonstrations and audience volunteers, with eye-opening results!

There's also a chance for audience members to try out our electricity-generating bike. As the pedals are pushed round ithe bike makes electricity - it's as simple as that! What most people don't realise is that electricity is very hard to make when you're responsible for making it. Most volunteers have said it's like trying to pedal quickly up a very steep hill!

This show lasts for around 50 minutes and can be run up to 5 times during a school day. It can be be set up in a room or hall around 5 minutes and removed just as quickly. There are lots of opportunities to volunteer during the show and it always promotes a lot of discussion!

Why not have The Sustainability Show to launch an eco-week or run it as part of a green fair?
