Acabo de recibir una Newsletter de la publicación on-line del número 31 de la revista Science in School con unos contenidos que más tarde enviarán en una versión impresa (a los subscriptores, gratis en Europa) y traducirán a diversos idiomas en la web. Al final habla de Franklin pero creo más bien que era Confucio:
Issue 31 of the journal is now on our new website. Learn how to make pH sensitive inks and fight cancer in the classroom, plus we talk to physics teacher and science communicator Alom Shaha about how he's working to improve science teaching in the home. If you have subscribed to the print version (free in Europe), you should receive your copy very soon.
Editorial: Welcome to the 31st issue of Science in School
Making new connections and learning in new ways
Science in School is published by EIROforum, a collaboration between eight of Europe’s largest inter-governmental scientific research organisations (EIROs). This article reviews some of the latest news from EIROs.
Greening chemistry
Chemistry is not always completely environmentally friendly; green chemistry is working to change that.
Fighting HIV with neutrons
When thinking about diffraction studies, X-rays most often come to mind, but neutrons can also provide important structural information – and could help in the fight against HIV.
The perfect meal
Psychology is teaching us how to make food sweeter without changing its ingredients.
The challenging logistics of lunar exploration
The path to the Moon is paved with many challenges. What questions do the next generation of space explorers need to answer?
The aspirin screen experiment
An online resource published by the Royal Society of Chemistry
Taking teaching home
At the Royal Institution, science teacher and communicator Alom Shaha has helped develop the Experimental project to boost science at home.
Climbing the PISA ladder
Since the first PISA study in 2000, changes in the system and innovations in the classroom have improved performance in Germany.
An artistic introduction to anthocyanin inks
Making pH-sensitive inks from fruits and vegetables is a creative variation of the cabbage-indicator experiment.
Starlight inside a light bulb
Different stars shine with different colours, and you can use a light bulb to help explain why.
Coding without computers
Programmes don’t need a computer – turn your students into coders and robots with just pens, paper and a stack of cups.
Cell spotting – let’s fight cancer together!
“Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn,” Benjamin Franklin once said. Make that quote yours and involve your students in a real cancer-research project that will teach them more than just genetics and cell death.
