Online Teaching and Distance Learning

In our European Science on Stage network, many teachers have been developing great concepts on how to teach online, how to do online experiments or how to combine outdoor activities with online tools.

Coding in STEM Education

Coding becomes more and more important in our society. To help increase the level of knowledge on a wide scale and to enhance digital competences in students, Science on Stage launched the initiative 'Coding in STEM Education'. In contained a variety of projects and activities. The publication of the brochure 'Coding in STEM Education' and the international competition 'Code League' were part of it.

European STEM League

How to enthuse students for Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths? Eleven school teams from Czech Republic, Germany, Georgia, Italy, Romania, Spain, Switzerland and Turkey showed how at the international European STEM League finals on 20-21 October 2017 at the German Football Museum in Dortmund.

Proudly supported by SAP and the SAP Charitable Fund, Science on Stage invited STEM teachers to implement experiments about 'Football in Science Teaching' with their classes and document the results in a creative way. At the final the best teams were now competing with their projects for the title European STEM Champion.

Language Skills

Language is key to knowledge and social participation. Already in primary school, the skills gap should be closed through systematic language promotion.

In the Science on Stage teacher project 'Lilu's House', an international team of ten primary school teachers developed a teaching brochure that offers specific ideas and practical advice for hands-on experiments.

In the bathroom, kitchen and living room the children come across 'inexplicable' observations which they examine with entertaining experiments, while simultaneously training their language skills. Find out more about the project and the publication here.

Teachers + Scientists

Science on Stage Germany initiated a project to build up long-lasting cooperation between STEM teachers and scientists. Natural scientists and local science teachers did research together on current scientific topics.

The teachers transferred the knowledge into school lessons. You can find more information about this project here

Football in Science Teaching

Football is fascinating and attracting to a lot of students. Also football offers the chance to cover a variety of interdisciplinary themes: from the game itself to the biological and health’ aspects of the players to the environmental issues when organising a big international sports event like the European Football Championship. 

20 teachers from 15 countries worked together on this international project on football in science teaching. The results are now published in a brochure coinciding with the European Football Championship 2016 in France. Find further information about the project here

Smartphones in Science Teaching

In most European secondary schools, students are not allowed to use their smartphones for good reason: it hampers personal communication in school. However, simply ignoring their presence is not a good solution.

They can be a big chance for STEM classes. 20 teachers from 14 European countries developed eleven teaching units that show how smartphones and apps can be used for. Learn more about the project here

ICT in Science Teaching

Simulations for environmental technologies, bioinformatics or mechanics: The free teaching material iStage - ICT in science teaching shows how to connect information and communication technologies (ICT) with science education.

In this project teachers from all over Europe give practical examples of how to integrate programs like Java, Scratch or Tracker in biology, physics or astronomy classes.
