Now it's time to nominate the primary school teacher of the year to H.C. Ørsted's bronze medal
Do you know a primary school teacher, who teaches science in a vibrant, inspiring and very special way?
Can the teacher titrate students' curiosity about science and lifting their professional level? Is teacher may even be the reason why high school pupils choose one or more science and then apply for higher education in the field of education and training. Science?
Then you have great the opportunity to pay tribute to him or her. Now, for all, it has been opened up recommendations for the H.C.

Both pupils as teachers and school leaders, preferably jointly, can nominate the primary school teacher of the year; to the medal.
On the occasion of the 2020 marks the 200th anniversary of H.C. Ørsted's discovery of electromagnetism, extraordinary to be awarded two medals – one to a teacher with many years of experience and one for a teacher with less many years of experience, but many good new Ideas. The medals are awarded by the Society for the Dissemination of Natural Learning and the sponsored by the engineering company Haldor Top lake .
Included is DKK 25,000 for the winner and
DKK 25,000 for a science project at the school.
In addition to the medal and the honour, the winner also receives a
25,000 kroner and DKK 25,000 for a science project at the school.
The criteria for receiving the medal is that the teacher:
- is engaged, imaginative and academically skilled
- delivers varied and inspiring teaching
- manages on extraordinary to lift students' academic level and
- gives them interest in studying science and technical subjects;
In addition, the teacher's teaching much like to be:

Send your setting inclusive justification and with concrete examples of how the candidate meets the criteria by 29 March 2020 to snu@naturvidenskab.net.

Engineering firm Haldor Topsøe A/S and the Society for the Dissemination of Natural Learning (SNU) have as a prelude to this in 2019, a collaboration was partnered to promote the dissemination of science and technology for the Danish people. It will now continue in 2020.
