The interdisciplinary project, including the school disciplines of Natural Sciences, Mathematics, Expressions, Portuguese, ICT, History, and geography of Portugal. The project emerged from the students' interests and needs when observing the school space. An action plan for the improvement of green spaces was created through the creation of a school garden. The students were involved in planning, creating partnerships, executing and maintaining theproject. During the school year, there was a change in behaviour in relation to the garden and the care for the school green spaces by the students involved, but also by the school community.

AbstractOne of three grants recently awarded by ICSU is to a new joint project led by the International Mathematical Union (IMU) and IUPAC, with the strong involvement of IUPAP. The project will compile evidence worldwide, including on trends on the role of women in science, to support informed decisions and provide easy access to materials proven to be useful in encouraging girls and young women to study and work in scientific fields. With the involvement of six scientific unions, UNESCO, and GenderInSite, this project constitutes a large international and multidisciplinary collaboration.

The article demonstrates how to apply new methods of teaching science by planning the lesson “backwards” and developing an interdisciplinary project, based on educational standards and curricula. The “Understanding by design” approach is applied in the planning of the activity in three stages: identification of the desired results, determination of acceptable evidence and development of the project.

AbstractThere continues to be a persistent gap between women’s and men’s participation, access, rights, pay, and benefits in the natural sciences, mathematics, and computing. The UNESCO Institute of Statistics reports that fewer than 30% of the world’s researchers are women. Many scientists, mathematicians, computing experts, and policy makers are working to reduce this gender gap by way of a wide range of initiatives. The International Science Council (ISC) funded a unique three-year project in 2017-2019 called, “A Global Approach to the Gender Gap in Mathematical, Computing and Natural Sciences: How to measure it, how to reduce it?” that has provided a wide-ranging view of the issues women face in the sciences and how these issues may be overcome.

Abstract From 2017 to 2019 the International Science Council funded a project investigating the gender gap in science disciplines. The aim of the project was to collect and analyse data on the gender gap and to create a database of good practices for encouraging girls and young women to study and pursue education and careers in the mathematical, computing, and natural sciences. In this article, we draw on our work in the Gender Gap in Science project to (1) explain the nature of the gender gap problem, (2) give examples of initiatives that scientists can take to help solve the gender gap problem, and (3) offer guidelines on how to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions designed to address the gender gap in science.
