Science in School: Issue 33 now available

The latest issue of the free magazine Science in School is now available online and in printed form. This European journal for science teachers offers inspiring articles, fun games and hands-on activities for students in every issue. It aims to promote science teaching by encouraging communication between teachers, scientists and everyone else involved in European science education.

Some of the highlights of this issue include: the second of two articles on the strange world of transmissible cancers; understanding how nature is inspiring us to make colour without pigments; and a look at how scientists are trying to understand fear.

Teaching activities include: a way to understand physics using craft materials; a practical lesson using colour match apps on mobile phones; and an activity on the safety of tattoo inks.

Science in School is published by EIROforum, a collaboration between eight European intergovernmental scientific research organisations, of which ESO is a member. The journal addresses science teaching both across Europe and across disciplines: highlighting the best in teaching and cutting-edge research.

Numerous articles, as well as their translated versions in many European languages, can be found online. If you would like to volunteer to translate Science in School articles into your own language for publication online, please see the guidelines on the Science in School website.
