She believes that as young people are the future, unless we can interest them, we have no hope. Hear her thoughts on essential topics to teach such as re-wilding, fracking and palm oil plantations and on engaging your students so that they care. 12.45–13.00 The University of Manchester degree programme Lecturers will talk about and answer questions on the degree programme at The University of Manchester and the admissions process. 13.00–13.45 Lunch 13.45–15.45 Group activities Sustainability interactive tour With 45,000 students and an area of 800 Ha, The University of Manchester campus is the size of a small town. The University is also home to over 300 researchers and 7000 students with expertise in energy, urban design and sustainable development. This tour will explore how The University of Manchester campus is being used by students and researchers to develop new solutions to improve sustainability and tackle climate change. From trees and bees to low carbon buildings and smart grids, the interactive tour will demonstrate the opportunities that exist to develop solutions on our own doorstep. Laboratory exercise on the movement of glaciers During this lab exercise you will make glacier gak and watch it flow down foam mountains. Your job is to examine the movement of the glue and compare it to your knowledge of how glaciers flow in the real world. You will determine: how the gak behaves at the confluence of two valleys; which part(s) of the gak moved the fastest; and how the gak behaves after it flowed out of the valley onto a flat surface. Is glacier gak a good physical model for glaciers? Is glacier gak a good teaching tool?
