Severn Tidal Scheme home page.
A resource for schools.

Working with the RSA, Clifton Scientific Trust and the British Science Association, the Science Learning Centre South West have produced this wiki, also accessible through the Science Learning Centre Hub site, to assist teachers in using the proposed Severn Estuary tidal scheme as a context for teaching science. As well as the obvious links to energy and environmental science topics, the Severn Estuary project is a natural route into examining contemporary issues in science and enabling students to see how scientific issues are irrevocably involved with social and political matters. The consultation into the Severn Estuary took information from environmental scientists, conservation groups, energy generation specialists, engineers from several disciplines, finance experts, politicians and the public.

This site exists to enable teachers to engage students in the science behind the Severn Estuary consultation through research and debate, as well as to contribute to teachers' professional development through the examination of case studies and other scientific and pedagogical material.
