Climate Change and the Power of Poo with Dŵr Cymru
Our partners from Dŵr Cymru are teaming up with us for a session that aims to deepen students’ grasp of water’s pivotal role in combatting climate change.
This engaging session is split into two parts. To kick things off, Dŵr Cymru’s Seconded Teachers will lead a captivating virtual journey, walking students through the Waste Water Treatment Process.
They’ll cover everything, from waste arrival on-site to its transformation through Advanced Anaerobic Digestion. This session aligns with the National Curriculum for Wales, offering visual, interactive, and easily digestible content for students.
