Sparkling-Science-Spotlight: " Researching climate change through Sparkling Science projects!"

Climate change is one of the greatest societal challenges of our time and a central theme in new school curricula. Sparkling Science projects offer the opportunity to address this complex topic and its associated strategies and goals (e.g., energy transition, climate neutrality) not only theoretically, but also through collaborative empirical research and practical application. In this spotlight, three Sparkling Science projects from different scientific disciplines present their research findings to date and demonstrate how teaching, school development, and scientific knowledge acquisition can be effectively linked through participatory research.
