Big Manny science lessons

Big Manny is a social media influencer and an expert on all things science. He has used his knowledge and expertise to create three social media videos that demonstrate the science behind the main dangers present on the railway, as well as the impact of making unsafe decisions.

Work through the videos and accompanying worksheets to extract important scientific and safety information to be aware of and consider how this might affect students’ behaviour in relation to the railway.
