NTS aims to use ICTs as a tool to make the learning of science subjects more attractive and accessible. The project target groups are students from the general and vocational schools aged 13 to 18; teachers in science subject,plus college & university students attending science education courses (prospective school teachers in sciences) The project will establish a Virtual Lab, as an experimental virtual aid to science learning. This will serve as a platform for science lessons, as a database of teaching materials and as a hub for science-learning-related graphic aids and recorded and illustrated appealing experiments on Nano-Tech. It will include a Nano-science Center, presenting to learners and their in-service or future teachers the miracles of the nano-technologies. A program for a week science Camp training including hands-on experiments and demonstrations will be developed and delivered through the VL, this is a good step as an approbation of the contents and functionalities of the virtual lab.

rom August 2008 to November 2009, Inspire (Innovative Science Pedagogy in Research and Education) gathered teachers from five European countries to test and analyse digital learning resources in Maths, Science and Technology (MST) education. The results a

Berkeley Lab's Center for Science & Engineering Education (CSEE) carries out the Department of Energy's education mission to train the next generation of scientists, as well as helping them to gain an understanding of the relationships among frontier Science, technology, and society.

In the 2011 edition of the international Ciencia en Acción competition, the first prize in the Teaching Resources category went to the animated video 'Me and my Body', developed and produced by members of the IGC Science Communication Team (Catarina Júlio, Ana Mena and Ana Godinho), in collaboration with Diana Marques (illustrator), Cláudio Silva (Fundação para a Computação Científica Nacional) and Alexandre Gil (student). According to the competition judges, this award acknowledges the video's 'ability to make Science attractive to young people, and teach them the concepts of cells and organs of the body, in a very professional and educational fashion'.

Science Education in Europe: National Policies, Practices and Research Date of publication: 16 November 2011 The study examines the organisation of Science teaching in Europe and provides an overview of existing policies and strategies that aim at improving and fostering Science teaching and learning today.

A big part of the Exploratorium's mission is to provide tools to make work (of teachers) easier and more enriching, including things to do at the museum, hands-on activities, and a wealth of Web features about important science topics. The sections below provide more information and examples of some of our materials. Or you can go to our Explore page, where you can search for activities by topic and age range, and browse our Web features and online interactives.

This report shows that two actions are at the heart of the drive to make MST studies and professions more popular option for young learners: the development of effective and attractive MST curricula and teaching methods, and improved teacher education and professional development. Some countries (the Netherlands, Norway, Ireland, Israel, Switzerland, and Italy), have implemented national strategies and others have set up dedicated national, regional, or local centres (Norway, Finland, Sweden, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Denmark, the Czech Republic, Portugal, Spain, and Ireland). These centres aim to improve the quality of MST teaching, and sometimes more particularly, to increase science and technology's popularity (also achieved through campaigns and competitions). This holistic approach usually includes all MST subjects, covers the lifelong learning span and involves the government, educational sector and industry. Public-private partnerships are an important feature of these all-encompassing approaches, aimed at developing a sustainable scientific culture which is deep-rooted in society. Other common approaches are to establish networks of teachers and teacher trainers, as well as other relevant stakeholders, and to implement curricular reform and initiatives favouring inquiry-based learning (e.g. cross-disciplinary, thematic or project work). In some countries, extra time, funding and smaller student groups enable more handson MST activities in laboratories and outdoors.

Welcome to the SPICE website! Here you can find all the information about the Spice project, teaching materials and publications. The Spice website is aimed at teachers, pupils, scientists, science communicators and science educators.The teachers who were involved in the SPICE project and who carried out the implementations of the Good Practices in their schools in 15 different EU countries have shared their impressions, results and highlights of their gained experience on this website.

Imagine a timeline of the universe, complete with high-resolution videos and images, in which you could zoom from a chronology of Egypt's dynasties and pyramids to the tale of a Japanese-American couple interned in a World War II relocation camp to a discussion of a mass extinction that occurred on Earth 200 million years ago - all in seconds. Based on an idea from a University of California, Berkeley, student, ChronoZoom - essentially a zoomable timeline of timelines augmented with multimedia features -- is coming to life.
