Agilent supports Xplora for web experiments
Author: Laura Massoli

Agilent Technologies Foundation has made possible the development of an exciting new web experiment, the Millikan oil drop experiment. The foundation has provided a grant to Xplora (www.xplora.org), the European Science Education Gateway carried by European Schoolnet - EUN (www.eun.org), to develop the Millikan web experiment.

Xplora, which has already included web experiments in its innovative offers for science teachers, will get now a new fascinating web experiment.
According to the EU objectives, this initiative will help to bring science closer to schools, using the potential of new technologies.
