Abstract :
Laboratory work is the principal subject in physics. The laboratory work in physics education is important not only for the acquisition of the fundamentals of the experiment but also to cultivate the students´ interest in physics. Students will understand the laws of physics empirically and intuitionally through their laboratory work. The empirical knowledge through the laboratory work would be more impressive for the students than the passive one obtained from the textbook. But the traditional approach to laboratory work is too professional and advanced for our students. The multimedia approach based on the Internet was developed to help the student´s laboratory work.
