      Everybody must support the teaching and learning of science as early as Year 1 in all schools in the UK. Encourage students to go on scientific visit to scientific labs and institutes.

      Oooh that’s tough! ?

      I would say to the Queen that I think we have a responsibility to make sure that climate change doesn’t get too bad, particularly because a lot of the pollution over the last 100 years has been because of Britain (and its “Empire”), so we have a responsibility now to help countries who are developing quickly (like countries in Africa, and India and China) to do so in a way that doesn’t damage the environment.

      I would ask Her Majesty to pass a law that would ban the use of fossil fuels in making electricity and in our cars. I would ask her to get the Government to spend more money on cleaner, renewable energy.

      I would then ask her to make me a Sir!

      Oooh good question! I would like to tell the Queen how important it is to keep funding science research, particularly the scientists who are working on big problems like climate change. It takes a lot of scientists to come up with solutions to big problems!
