Exploring science locally - sharing insights globally

Join the thousands of schools around the world where students are exchanging information, opinions and ideas on a variety of science topics with young people in every continent. Explore the Science Across the World web site to use the wide range of topics and free resources in several languages.

You can register now for FREE membership during 2007.

More than 5,500 teachers in 131 countries with their students are collaborating on school science topics.

How does it work?

• Register your school and one or more teachers. Your students can then communicate with others worldwide!
• Students work securely on a science topic that you choose. Food, diet & health, genetics, the environment and energy use are just a few of them.
• Find other schools across the world working on the same topic, in the same language and at the same time.
• Students exchange topics (and any associated materials) with their selected schools.
• Comparing their exchange forms gives students a global perspective on their science topic.

Why join?

• Students and teachers develop contacts and links with other schools in different parts of the world
• Students are interested and motivated by global science issues and communicating with other young people from different countries and cultures
• Students look at the wider aspects of science around issues of diet and health, genetics, the environment and energy use
• Students develop key skills in Communication, ICT, and Problem Solving
• Teachers can develop different pedagogic skills and extend science into cross curricular activities, including citizenship and sustainable development education

Keeping Healthy, Domestic Waste and Chemistry in Our Lives  topics are available in Ukrainian. But you need to fill up exchange form in English:

• Keeping Healthy exchange form,
• Domestic Waste exchange form
• Chemistry in Our Lives exchange form

The innovative topic Climate Change is also available in Ukrainian. This is a new style of topic. If you take part you will publish your findings through 'Making the News'. You will be able to see reports from others in the Science Across the World section of 'Making the News'. This replaces the process of using an Exchange form in other topics.
