As part of the workshops pupils spend the day at Leeds University taking part in activities delivered by specialists from the Faculty of Earth and Environment, Biological Sciences and the School of Chemistry along with a campus tour given by Leeds University students. “Thank you for letting us learn about hippos, I loved going to the University…I loved everything, the hippo bones were good…. I liked the tour of the campus, plus the chemistry lesson about solids, liquids and gases.” Yr 5 pupil, Ingram Road Primary The Hippo Project supports the University of Leeds policy to minimise waste, conserve energy and lower carbon emissions by raising awareness.
