The participation of teachers of the natural sciences and their classes is explicitly desired. This includes the possibility to ask questions to scientists, criticize the material, make suggestions for improment, and propose own contributions. This may cover the implementation of one unit (2-4 lecture hours) as well as larger projects which may vary according to personal arrangements. The use of the internet is recommended but not required.

Provisional registrations of partner classes for cooperations in the spring 2003 (following the Easter holidays) and for the school competition related to climate are now possible (email preferred). Answers to inquiries will be provided at any time. Online information during the netdays in the Direct Forum.
