Workshop Summary

Tour the Discovery Museum with our Learning Team to investigate energy production on Tyneside and how it has changed over time. Discover the impact this energy production has had on industry and jobs in the area.  

Students will then investigate solar power through a series of experiments. How does the weather effect solar energy? How much can we power with solar energy?
