Editorial

ברוכים הבאים לגילון הראשון של העיתון "מדע בבית הספר". עיתון זה שם לו למטרה לתת השראה בתחום הוראת המדעים בבתי הספר בכל אירופה. אנו מקווים שתתרשמו, תתידעו ותשאבו השראה מהמאמרים אותם בחרנו.

In our feature article, Vienna Leigh interviews Professor Lewis Wolpert, who leads a research group on the development of the embryo and is active in science communication. He shares with us his controversial ideas about belief, science education and much more. Whether you agree with him or not, why not leave your comments on our website?

In our feature article, we share with you the thoughts of Nobel Prize winner Tim Hunt as he talks to Philipp Gebhardt about his passion for science, the importance of pure research, the influence of enthusiastic colleagues – and the role of serendipity in scientific discovery.

The most exciting recent education event for me was Science on Stage, EIROforum’s international teaching festival. I enjoyed meeting many of the 500 teachers attending from 28 countries – listening to their suggestions, hearing about their experience and marvelling at their innovative teaching ideas. We have two articles in this issue to tell you more about the festival and the European Science Teaching Awards that were presented there.

Once again, we are happy to offer you a wide range of articles written by teachers, scientists and others from nine different countries.

Feedback from our readers has continued to be very positive: you’ve told us that you like the variety of articles, the informative but readable style, and the unique combination of ideas drawn from teachers and scientists across Europe. This issue, like the first two, offers a wide range of subjects and contributors: teachers, scientists, politicians and others from nine European countries cover topics as varied as bird flu, proteomics, solar fusion and what it feels like to discover your very own comet.

Мы с удовольствием представляем вам первый выпуск «Науки в школе» – журнала, разработанного с целью оживить интерес к преподаванию наук в странах Европы. Надеемся, что специально отобранные нами статьи окажутся увлекательными, познавательными и по-настоящему вдохновят вас.
