Pupils at Cwrt Rawlin Primary School in Caerphilly are discovering more about climate change through a pioneering microalgae installation that extracts carbon dioxide from the air inside classrooms.

The school is evaluating the technology as a component of an environmental learning programme spearheaded by the Football Association of Wales alongside the sustainability organisation Our Classroom Climate.

Both teachers and learners have discovered the approach to be thoroughly engaging and remarkably effective.

One teacher commented that the resources and guidance provided are excellent and will considerably cut down on their planning workload.

The algae-powered setup, dubbed a liquid tree, takes in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere via photosynthesis, granting learners hands-on exposure to environmental science while simultaneously purifying the air within educational environments.

One pupil expressed that they had never appreciated how extraordinary science could be.

The entirely participatory programme additionally integrates digital educational tools created to align with national curriculum standards.
