Science Across the World is the international flagship programme of GlaxoSmithKline, in partnership with The Association for Science Education. It provides a forum for pupils aged 10-17 years to exchange facts and opinions with students in other countries. Pupils 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.

What did you eat? and Drinking water in Europe are the most successful Science Across the World units for pupils aged 12-14 years. They are provided here in both English and French. The French versions could be used as a cross-curricular activity for more able pupils, as the text is manageable and includes target language for this age group. For further information please visit the Science Across the World website at www.scienceacross.org.

Simplicity of communication is the key to the success of the programme, and it is the global exchange process between pupils working on a range of topics, by post, fax, email, and increasingly through the Science Across the World website, that makes this programme different and stimulating to hundreds of pupils 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 collaboration 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. 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.
