€3.6m project for science education
Science education researchers at Sheffield Hallam University are leading a €3.6m project to help train teachers across Europe to deliver more engaging science lessons
The European Commission has funded the project, which will bring together teacher education professionals from 12 different countries. Sheffield Hallam's centre for science education is coordinating the three year development programme, called Chain Reaction.
The programme uses scenarios that challenge children to work in teams on actual research projects based on real scientific studies, with an overall theme of 'Earth and Universe'. This hands-on, student-led approach to teaching science is known as 'Inquiry Based Science Education' (IBSE).
