Sustainable Energy use
For students aged 7 and up
Students will gain an insight into the direct links they have on the ocean through the choices they make every second of the day.
Did you know that leaving the lights on may indirectly turn whole nests of turtle eggs into girls? It may sound a good idea to some of you, but this could spell the end of these majestic reptiles within our life spans! |

Our presentation from Melbourne Aquarium will begin with a general overview detailing the impacts of human induced climate change on our oceans. Activities will include an interactive quiz, chat with a diver / climatologist and possibly some close ups of some organisms living at the Melbourne aquarium which may become extinct if we don’t change the way we use our energy.
At Melbourne Girls’ College, our sessions will include video of our solar powered shark car, an interview with the students who raced the car in the 2005 RACV Energy Breakthrough race and more.
