Science in School: Issue 73 now available
16 June 2025
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 third issue of 2025 we’ve put together a collection of articles: Discover the Girls Go Circular education program, which introduces circular economy concepts into your classroom while helping students build essential digital, entrepreneurial, and sustainability skills. Plus, science experiment don’t have to be expensive! We’ve curated a collection of articles featuring low-cost experiments with everyday materials for budget-friendly hands-on learning.
2025 is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology and we’ve got a pair of articles to match. Dive into the fascinating world of quantum computing: uncover the physics behind this groundbreaking technology and explore how it could transform future computing. After this introduction, you’ll be ready to read about cutting-edge research on perovskites and their potential for advancing quantum innovations.
If it’s teaching activities that you are looking for, we’ve got you covered too.
Turn coffee waste into a circular economy experiment by chemically analyzing its nutrient potential for plant growth. Combine art with chemistry through cyanoprinting in a STEAM activity that also encourages peer learning. Put a new spin on sound by investigating the properties of sound waves using simple robotics experiments. Or create amazing, colourful swirls by performing electrolysis in a magnetic field.
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.
More Information
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.
