Powering the UK: A Lesson to Be Learnt
Within classrooms up and down the country, the curriculum is changing. As the world becomes ever more familiar with terms such as global warming, energy resources and renewable energy, through the proliferation of the energy debate in mainstream media, so such issues no longer remain confined to subjects like geography, any more.
As the energy debate gains ever greater relevance in our daily social, economic and political lives, children are asking questions and the importance grows to develop their knowledge and understanding of the state of energy provision for both today, and tomorrow.
The children of today will be the custodians of the planet tomorrow, so ensuring that future generations possess an understanding of the energy needs of our planet from a young age is vital. Key debates, conversation and educative visits are popular ways in which to further enhance children and young people’s understanding of subjects as complex as those within the energy debate.
First hand experience plays an important role in the understanding of complex issues, so a visit to a power station could be an ideal way to get children thinking, asking questions, learning and understanding.
Power stations are situated throughout the UK, including in Scotland, England and Wales and each are operated by a number of different energy companies. If you teach at a school near to a power station, or your children attend school in the vicinity of one, you could find it easy to arrange an informative visit and tour to a local power station.
With an informative visit to a power station, children can take the great energy debate out of the classroom and into its natural environment – the power station – where children and adults alike can discover how energy, such as electricity, is generated. You could also be interested to discover how the power companies are dedicated to renewable energy sources in the future.
Educative tours can last up to two hours and are free for school, educative institutes and community groups. You might also be surprised to hear that tours are suitable for children as young as eight. Children could enjoy a multimedia introduction to the power station, followed by an informative tour around the working elements of the site, such as a compound’s coal plant, cooling water drums, boiler house, turbine hall and ending in the control room.
Children and adults alike who visit a power station can discover greater insight into how the energy debate could play out in the future, as well as how power stations contribute to powering the UK.
