Xplora, the European Science Education Gateway which is supported by the PENCIL project and funded by the European Commission's Directorate General for Research as part of Science and Society, has already included several web experiments in its innovative offers for science teachers. Xplora (www.xplora.org) was launched by EUN in June 2005. It is EUN’s portal for science education. The Millikan is a new fascinating web experiment: “It is a basic milestone in all European physics school curricula and it gets its importance from the added value of a web database and it is a good example of how modern technology can help traditional experiment-based scientific reasoning,” said Ulf W. Lundin, EUN's managing director. According to the EU’s Science and Society action line, this initiative will help bring science closer to schools, using the potential of new technologies.
