Not much time for science engagement today? Try the ONE MINUTE MELON! A quick and easy hook to get children interested in the concept of underground thermal energy storage 🍈🌡️🌍 (or the wonders of Planet Earth in general)
Looking forward to presenting about public engagement with underground thermal energy storage (the #PUSH-IT project) at the #ExeterClimateForum 2nd-4th July. Register at exeterclimateforum.com. With @exeter.ac.uk @metoffice.bsky.social @isoutar.bsky.social
Our paper just published: value of #intergenerational tabletop game design for student engagement with climate change. Based on an #undergraduate #geography field trip assignment on #Scilly with @cailadd.bsky.social and Emilia Urbanek. #education #pedagogy free👇

Great to see this on #HCRW news - our work centring intergenerational perspectives of climate change during #globalintergenerationalweek2025 - healthandcareresearchwales.org/about/news/i...
A spread from an online flip book about climate change related activities. This page has two games on it: climate bingo and a climate themed snakes and ladders. The bingo sheets have illustrated icons for things like plastic, grow your own, co-housing, mending, recycling and so on. The snakes and ladders has orange and yellow squares with things like "you cut down a forest!" or "you invested in clean energy! Advance 4 squares"
Want something positive to look at and learn with on this Earth Day?
Go have a look at our Climate Comic Activity Pack, a free resource with printouts for all sorts of climate and sustainability related things to do: www.climatecomic.co.uk
