Abstract:
This paper stands up as an argument for a paradigm shift in the science teaching process. The main goal of the author is to point out ways of achieving learning excellence by usage of modern educational means. This bold aim can be reached by conferring new meanings to the traditional experiments, as an add-on to the classical laboratory. I will make my point by making an appeal to a number of specific educational software and NASA experiments, and by using a number of virtual experiments. I have studied the impact this new usage of the experiments had upon the progress achieved by the students, and I will analyze in this paper the manner in which this unconventional teaching way can provide outstanding results in the teaching process.
