Science Across the World is
the international flagship programme
of GlaxoSmithKline in partnership
with The Association for Science Education.
It provides a forum for students aged
10 to 17 years to exchange facts and
opinions with students in other countries.
Students use a unique series of compact
resource topics on environmental and
social science issues that have been
developed by educators, together with
independent experts, on the issues
concerned.
On this website you can print out
the following Science Across the World
unit Biodiversity around us.
Simplicity of communication is the
key to the success of the programme,
and it is this global exchange process,
by post, fax, email, and increasingly
through the Science Across the
World website, that makes this
programme different and stimulating
to hundreds of students and educators
alike.
Starting as Science Across Europe
in 1990, this flexible programme has
expanded to Asia Pacific, Africa,
America, and most recently to Latin
America. In each region we have developed
extensive collaborations with highly
regarded educational partners to bring
the programme to grass roots levels
in schools.
The resources for all our topics
are available in English, French,
German, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese
languages. Some of the topics are
available in many more European and
Asian languages, including Japanese.
If you require the resources in another
language, please contact Science
Across the World. Details are
in the Teacher Notes on the PDF files.
