Really Small Science
Smart Sustainable Plastic Packaging
Watch as Dr. Karen Johnston and Kasia Majerczak from the University of Strathclyde share their research on developing smart sustainable plastic packaging to tackle the plastic waste issue in the UK. Then, Sylvia Battcock (Really Small Science) introduces bioplastics, which are produced from renewable biomass sources. Watch our demonstration on how to create them from potatoes!
Really Small Science Activities
Some activities for you to try from the Really Small Science Team from Chemical Engineering at the University of Strathclyde. Featuring four activities to try at home, each with an activity sheets of instructions available for you to download. There are also two 'How-To' videos for Nanopolymer Bouncy Balls and Nanojelly to help you.
