Design the cover for Science in School!

Entries should be colourful, eye-catching and relevant to science teaching. What makes science lessons fascinating or funny? What are the highs and lows of teaching? What best illustrates the daily life of a science teacher? How do your students envisage scientists and their laboratories? What science topics do they find most exciting or enticing? These are just some ideas to get you started.
You may use paints, pencils, crayons, charcoal – even a computer. The choice is yours. But no sculptures or other 3D entries, please!
Entry rules
Entries are welcome from science teachers and secondary-school students (ages 10-19) from anywhere in Europe and will be judged in the following categories:
- Teachers
- Students aged 10-14
- Students aged 15-19.
Entries should include the artist’s full name, email address, school and country. Teachers should list the subjects they teach, and students should include their age. All entries must be accompanied by a statement confirming that the artwork is original and your own work. We regret that we cannot respond individually to entrants or return postal entries.
To be included in the competition, entries should reach us by 30 June 2007. Electronic entries should be sent to editor@scienceinschool.org and must be of high resolution (a minimum of 300 dpi at A4 size or larger), in jpg or tif format. Postal entries (in a hard-backed envelope to prevent damage) may be sent to:
Dr Eleanor Hayes
Editor of Science in School
European Molecular Biology Laboratory
Meyerhofstrasse 1
69117 Heidelberg
Germany
The winners will be announced in Issue 6 of Science in School, to be published in Autumn 2007. One or more winning entries will be reproduced on the front cover, identified as the artist’s work. We reserve the right to edit the images as appropriate.

Europe debates intelligent design in science lessons
The Council of Europe's Parliamentary Assembly is to debate and vote on a resolution opposing teaching the creationist or intelligent design theory in science lessons, it has been reported.
Reuters reports that the resolution, which claims European schools should "resist" the teaching of the theory outside religious education, is on the agenda for October 4th.
It apparently refers to the teaching of the theory as an assault on science and on human rights.
Anne Brasseur, an assembly member from Luxembourg, told Reuters she respected that there were different opinions on the creation of the world.
However, she said: "The message we wanted to send was to avoid creationism passing itself off as science and being taught as science. That's where the danger lies."
In 2006, the official Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano carried the comments of Professor Fiorenzo Facchini who said intelligent design is not science and that teaching it to students alongside the theory of evolution would confuse them.
