Students tackle hot topic on trip to W5 exhibition

ST Michael's Grammar School visited W5 recently as part of the Royal Society Local Heroes talks and events, an exciting celebration of 350 years of the Royal Society's scientific achievement and endeavour.

The programme celebrates local scientific heroes, the pioneers, mavericks and geniuses who, for centuries, have changed the way we live and see the world. The events celebrate the contributions made to science and engineering by distinguished local fellows of the world’s oldest science academy.

Pupils from St Michael’s Grammar School and nine other schools attended a special talk at W5 by eminent geologist and BBC broadcaster Professor Iain Stewart covering the hot topic of volcanoes.

During the last few centuries, a few volcanoes have blasted their imprints onto human history.

In a tour of some of the Earth’s most volatile volcanoes, the pupils were shown how volcanoes can be valuable windows giving an insight into how the world works.
