Join Science Alive and Science Learning Hub for a live chat with an expert in the field of carbon – Professor Louis Schipper, an environmental scientist and Professor at the University of Waikato.
As we explore the theme of Primary Science Week 2026, ākonga will have the opportunity to ask Louis their own hard hitting questions about carbon.
Get your class involved by brainstorming questions together. You might like to ask things like:
Where do we find carbon?
