PUPILS across Edinburgh are being given the chance to have Professor Brian Cox take over their school science class for the day.

Prof Cox, who recently presented the hit BBC series Wonders of The Solar System, is leading a national initiative to show children just how fascinating science can be, with The Big Bang Lesson.

He has teamed up with The Big Bang: UK Young Scientists and Engineers Fair 2011 to launch the nationwide competition. Children can now enter their school into the special draw, which could see Brian taking over their lesson in Edinburgh on November 16.

He said: "I want to persuade young people that they can play a part in answering big questions like these in the future, and enjoy learning about this fascinating universe of ours."
