Abstract
Image sequences, video clips, or other sensorily perceptible representations of experiments, are combined with software and hardware for teaching science, critical thinking, and other subjects, to provide a learning process centered on Scientific Method. Experiments are run (or simulated) with various experimental parameters and are recorded on a storage device such as a network server. The reproduced experiment is combined with introductory material, hypotheses, vocabulary words and definitions, and other information to create course modules consisting of one or more segments. Small groups of students run software on separate computers to pick and view experiments, to collect data by interacting with the experiments, to analyze the collected data, and to prove hypotheses. Following each course segment the student groups present their findings to other class members and the teacher facilitates identification and understanding of the principles involved.
