We’re now into Heather Reid’s 4th day of science lessons to Dumfries & Galloway schools live via interactive video conference from the Glasgow Science Centre. Young people from 10 primary schools across the 100 mile+ wide region have enjoyed a fantastic opportunity to learn about climate change, renewable energies and weather related issues with Heather presenting direct into classrooms live from the Glasgow Science Centre. Today it was the turn of young people from Lincluden in Dumfries. With the support of their teacher Miss Agnew, the P5 class engaged in discussion with Heather and each other in groups as they considered the causes and consequences of carbon emissions.

Huge advantages to this way of working are yet to be explored in further depth.Well done, Alan Cameron for taking this forward.Your work requires to be shared far and wide.

Thank you Peter, you are very generous. The success of this particular science teaching initiative has been down to many partners. Heather Reid (and staff at the Glasgow Science Centre) and our teachers in Dumfries & Galloway have ensured truly excellent outcomes and experiences for kids through this way of working. Behind the scenes, particular credit is due to Colin McClelland and the Technology Solutions team in Dumfries. I’m grateful also to Videonations in Manchester supporting us with our virtual meeting room.
