Lab's Alive

Lab's Alive allows students to share in scientific research and classroom practice with a focus on environmental issues. A wide number of interesting and exciting experiments are being conducted. Some for example are to produce sustainable food sources in dry environments by recycling of waste materials. Others relate to saving of endangered species and Global Heritage classified sites and environments. We have the assistance of a number of Scientists in Residence to analyse results between countries. I will be seeking funding to assist participating schools, but cannot guarantee such funding will be available. The experiments are however very cheap to set up and full details appear on the website. We will be running a number of special events by video conferencing during the year. Schools will be able to join in to global discussion forums during these events.

We invite any schools with interesting aspects to their science and environment program to share these for global participation through the project.
