Abstract
With progress in information technologies, the chance to handle real objects by application of remote and virtual experiments across the Internet has emerged. This paper will describe how a scientifically exact and problem-solving-oriented remote and virtual science experimental environment might help to build a new strategy for blended science education. The main features of the new strategy are (1) the observations and control of real world phenomena, possibly materialized in data and their processing and evaluation, (2) verification of hypotheses combined with the development of critical thinking, supported by (3) highly sophisticated relevant information search, classification and storing tools and (4) cooperative teamwork, public presentations and the defense of achieved results, all either in real presence or in telepresence.
