Science in School: Issue 70 now available
6 November 2024
The latest issue of the free magazine Science in School is now available online. This European journal for science teachers offers up-to-date information on cutting-edge science, teaching materials, science education projects, interviews with inspiring scientists and teachers, reviews of books, and many other useful resources for science teachers. It aims to promote science teaching by encouraging communication between teachers, scientists and others involved in European science education.
In the fifth issue of 2024 you will find this:
Book a visit to the Xcool Lab at European XFEL for an inspiring experience at a cutting-edge research facility, with hands-on experiments to bring classroom concepts to life. Sign up to Physics in Advent and open the door to 24 simple engaging experiments and the chance to win cool prizes. As the International Year of Camelids draws to a close, discover how the unusual structures of camelid antibodies are inspiring important medical advances, or learn how a new X-ray scanning method is revealing highly detailed 3D views of the human heart. Build a tactile 3D DNA model to get a feel for DNA structure and duplication, or engage your students with tangible statistics projects using multisensory data visualizations. Create colour magic to illuminate temporal additive colour mixing and conjure coloured shadows, or try simple experiments with toilet paper to explore materials science, chemistry, and physics.
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. Article submissions for future issues are welcomed, whether from researchers giving a deeper understanding of a specific scientific topic or from teachers or other science educators describing innovative activities to introduce modern science into the classroom. You can read the guidelines for submissions here.
Numerous articles, as well as versions translated into 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.

The ESO Supernova Planetarium & Visitor Centre
The ESO Supernova Planetarium & Visitor Centre is a cooperation between the European Southern Observatory (ESO) and the Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies (HITS). The building is a donation from the Klaus Tschira Stiftung (KTS), a German foundation, and ESO runs the facility.
EIROForum
The European Intergovernmental Research Organisation forum, EIROForum, brings together eight of Europe’s largest research organisations. The eight EIROforum organisations have extensive expertise in the areas of basic research and the management of large, international infrastructures, facilities and research programmes.
It is the mission of EIROforum to combine the resources, facilities and expertise of its member organisations to support European science in reaching its full potential.
By promoting inspiring science teaching, EIROforum motivates and encourages young people to explore scientific subjects, and shows them that science is a rewarding career.
