Trump visit

Friends of the Earth have made an Action Pack available to coincide with President Trump's visit to London next week. I liked this resistance bingo card which is part of the pack.



The context is President Trump's denial of climate change, and continued support for oil drilling and consumption. I guess there will be quite a turnout in London.

Clean Air Pack from Friends of the Earth

Ordered a Clean Air Schools pack which is being made available by Friends of the Earth to a small number of UK schools.

It arrived last week, and along with some stickers and lesson ideas, there were two special tubes which need to be installed in a location for 2 weeks and then sent back for analysis and to get the results. They come with special bar codes to add in the locations where they were placed.

I installed the tubes in two places on the school site: one close to the road that passes the school, and one in a quieter location in the Old Palace gardens of my school site. They are attached to trees about 7 feet up.
Can you spot one in the picture below?


Next week they will be taken down and returned to Friends of the Earth, and I'll share the outcomes here.
Always good to be involved in citizen science projects and help students see that we involve ourselves as widely as possible in interesting external projects.
