Science in School email alert 1: March 2006

Dear Science in School subscribers,

I am delighted to inform you that the first issue of Science in School, a new European journal to promote inspiring science teaching, is now available to read and download at www.scienceinschool.org.

Science in School addresses science teaching across Europe and also across disciplines. It covers not only biology, physics and chemistry, but also maths and earth sciences, highlighting the best in teaching and cutting-edge research, and focusing on interdisciplinary work.

The contents include teaching materials; cutting-edge science; education projects; interviews with young scientists and inspiring teachers; education research; book reviews, and European events for teachers. Online articles are published in several European languages; a print version is available in English.

Science in School is supported by the European Union and will be published quarterly by the EIROforum, a collaboration of European intergovernmental research organisations (www.eiroforum.org).

With very few exceptions, articles in Science in School can be downloaded, copied and freely distributed. For details, see www.scienceinschool.org/copyright/.

If you would like to receive a free print copy of the first issue, please send me your school’s postal address. If you have already done so, you should receive a copy in the next few weeks.

We would welcome your feedback on the first issue; if you have 5 minutes to spare, please complete our online questionnaire:

We would like as many people as possible to read and use Science in School. If you could tell your colleagues about the journal, and perhaps include information on your websites or in your newsletters, we would be very grateful. Below, I am including a short text that you may be able to use.

If you prefer not to receive an email when subsequent issues are published, please send an email to scienceinschool@embl.de with the subject ‘Unsubscribe from Science in School’.

Best regards,
