Science in School The European journal for science teachers highlighting the best in science teaching and research.

Science in School aims to promote inspiring science teaching by encouraging communication between teachers, scientists, and everyone else involved in European science education. The journal addresses science teaching both across Europe and across disciplines: highlighting the best in teaching and cutting-edge research. It covers not only biology, physics and chemistry, but also earth sciences, engineering and medicine, focusing on interdisciplinary work. The contents include teaching materials and projects in science education, up-to-date information on cutting-edge science, interviews with inspiring scientists and teachers, reviews of books and other resources, and many other useful resources for science teachers. Online articles are published in many European languages, but the print version is only in English.

Eager for the answer? 🤓

Read our article, "How do we hear?" from our latest issue here: https://scienceinschool.org/article/2026/how-do-we-hear/

Suitable for students aged 14 and above, this article provides insights into the cellular and molecular mechanisms of hearing.

It also explains how we detect different pitches, the approaches scientists use to study hearing, and why uncovering its underlying physiology is so important!

It would be cool if we could grow a lost limb... but what if the lost limb could grow a complete, new body?😲

We cannot do that (duh!), but this little worm called planaria can!

Explore how observing planaria, the master of regeneration, can teach students about stem cells and development in our Teach article: Hands-on experiments with planaria, from the past issue 64.

Bring Mars to your class! 🦐 💫

In this hands-on classroom activity, students work with Artemia to investigate how living organisms respond to challenging conditions.

Using enclosed “bottle ecosystems”, they explore hatching, survival, and the effects of factors such as light and salinity before considering whether these resilient organisms could play a role in aquaculture and bioregenerative life-support systems in a future Mars habitat.

Today we highlight the Inspire article, “Eurostat’s Education corner: your key to European statistics”, from issue 65. 📊

The article shares ideas for using the Eurostat tools to help students understand how statistics are produced, interpret data and critically assess the information they encounter. From videos with exercise sheets to podcasts, interactive quizzes, visualisations and real-world datasets, there’s plenty to explore.

This perfectly complements our open science theme from the current issue, showing how publicly accessible data and tools that make it understandable can support classroom learning.

Open science makes research available for everyone!🔓 Why not make it accessible for students?💡

The Inspire article, "Open research in the classroom", in our current issue, explains how to utilise authentic research in classrooms. Students can engage with data from CERN's particle collision experiments to ESA's Earth Observations, developing critical thinking, problem-solving and research skills.

Want to take your science class to a whole new world?

Inspire students to learn the chemistry of life and physics of space telescopes through our spotlight article of the day: “Hubble helps discover a new type of planet largely composed of water”.

This older article from issue 61 perfectly complements the article on “The hunt for Earth-like exoplanets and life in space heats up” in our latest, September 2026, issue. As new studies look for Earth-like planets, students can also learn how large space telescopes detect water on their surfaces, possibly harbouring alien life!
