 | |  | | | This is a unit of two programmes which concentrate on environmental action. We follow the progress of two schools as they work towards an Eco-School award and we explore the debate triggered by a proposed wind farm in North Antrim. Primary Focus is closely linked to the Northern Ireland Curriculum and many of the programmes are cross-curricular, touching on the areas of English, PSE, Citizenship, Geography, History, Art, Science, Media and The Way We Live. | | | |  | Programme 6 - Geography: Think Local, Act Global Broadcast: 1st March 2005 BBC 2 NI 10.30 -10.50am
|  This programme has the possibility of one of Northern Ireland's largest wind farms being sited off the North Antrim coast, and the debate this has triggered, as its background. Pupils from Portrush Primary School undertake their own investigation into the power of wind and other sources of renewable energy. |

find out about a range of energy sources understand the differences between renewable and non-renewable energy resources learn about issues associated with the environment understand the importance of research prepare, conduct and analyse a simple survey - consider and listen to different points of view
