CISCI combines the two most popular media among youngsters, namely movies and the internet, aiming to stimulate interest in science.
CISCI contains scenes from blockbusters and movies with scientific explanations and descriptions that serve to illustrate scientific concepts analysing their (pseudo)-scientific contents from for example in physics, chemistry, life-sciences and mathematics. The core of the website Cinema und Science (CISCI) consists of downloadable scientific explanations of many movie scenes that are continuously expanding. For some movies you will also find the corresponding video clips as download, for blockbusters because of copyright reasons you need the movie for instance on DVD. In this case we give the time interval that you need for the access of the movie scene. This method is used successfully in many schools.
CISCI provides these new innovative classroom resources for school teachers and their pupils.
Cinema and Science is supported by the European Commission and its Nucleus programme, "a cluster of EU projects funded by the European Commission's Directorate General for Research, as part of the European Science Education Initiative."
