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.
There are three units on this CD
ROM:
Renewable Energy develops
learning and communication skills
about energy sources and use across
Europe.
Global Solar Partners is a
unit developed with the help of BPAmoco.
It encourages pupils to learn about
and exchange ideas about solar energy
use.
Plug in the Sun is a series
of practical activities mainly using
cheap photovoltaic cells. This resource
was edited by Dr. Paul Rowley, of
CREST (Centre for Renewable Energy
Systems Technology) at the University
of Loughborough.
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.
