Aimming the promotion of hands- on experimental teaching of Science as a way of improving in-school scientific education and Science literacy in our society, the "Hands-on Science" network was established, in the frames of the action Comenius 3 of EC program Socrates, in October 2003, by twenty-eight institutions from ten European countries (BE, CY, DE, ES, GR, MT, PT, RO, SL, UK) and a transnational consortium (CoLoS). The H-Sci network has a broad remit, aiming to promote and diffuse among schoolteachers, schools, and national and transnational educational boards, well established and newly investigated practices of hands-on experimental teaching of Science in all its disciplines. We will do this by fostering the development and use of hands-on experiments in the classroom so that students "do" science rather than merely being "exposed" to it.
