Key Stage 2 (7-11 year olds)
Lecture 1 of 3 // Supercharged: Fuelling the future
CHRISTMAS LECTURES 2016
The CHRISTMAS LECTURES at the Royal Institution were started by Michael Faraday in 1825, and are now broadcast on national television every year. They are the UK's flagship science series.
Saiful Islam investigates one of the most important challenges facing humankind – how to generate energy without destroying the planet in the process. A fascinating and stimulating celebration of the stuff that quite literally makes the universe tick, from power for our homes, fuel for our cars and making the most important machine of them all work, the human body.

Children will learn:
• To identify the range of common appliances that run on electricity (and rely on batteries)
• To consider where electricity is generated and appreciate that movement is needed in all power stations regardless of the energy source
• To understand the uses and implications of science, today and for the future
Cross-curricular opportunities:
• Eco-sustainability and reducing energy waste
