摘要：In this research, we present the results of a critical analysis of scientific web sites that aims to
introduce pupils from 10 to 14 years old to science through experiences. This analysis has been carried
out by sixty students enrolled in a teacher education program who filled a questionnaire we built up for
that purpose. The results show that the majority of these sites do not provide enough guidance to
introduce effectively these pupils to the basic skills of scientific investigation. As such, no mechanism
(e.g. simulation) in these sites allows the user to interact with the scientific content of the site. Based on
the shortcomings of these sites, we propose guidelines to design web sites that could foster learning of
electrostatic concepts.
