Abstract:
We propose a smart science laboratory in this paper. There is a lack of scientific experiment and investigation in science education for elementary, middle and high school students in Korea. Teachers solely focus on transmitting knowledge and there is a lack of laboratory apparatuses for rapidly developing science areas. Because of these shortcomings, students lose interest in science as they progress through the education system. The smart science laboratory consists of virtual and remote laboratories, a local data collection procedure and hybrid visualization to overcome this problem. We hope we can increase students’ interest and satisfaction in science using the smart science laboratory that can support and supplement science education in schools today.
