Miss Molecule & Friends is a series of inspirational digital resources, aligned to the UK school curriculum, to be used independently by teachers, parents, and the public to educate and inform children aged between 9 and 11 years. The resources cover a variety of subjects and industries related to renewable energy, critical minerals, sustainability, biodiversity, and wellbeing.

Through animation and real-life interviews, the resources tackle the circular economy, as well as the wider picture of climate change and economic benefits associated with our natural resources.

Currently, there are three episodes, focusing on Lithium extraction, fugitive methane emissions and most recent the geo-resources sector in Cornwall.

The latest episode is a short dive into the Geo-Resources sector in Cornwall, showcasing the natural resources that we use everyday that are mined and harnessed from the ground including lithium, tin, tungsten and kaolin and geothermal energy.

These films are available for schools and industry to use in lessons or outreach sessions.
