This article describes several innovative but simple ways of remotely observing and conducting science experiments over the internet. It involves technology-enhanced science learning using an Internet Protocol (IP) camera (a monitoring electronic tool, also known as a network camera, that can transmit image or video data anywhere, via the internet) to capture real-time videos and images of the experiments, and to remotely manipulate certain physical variables using its built-in mechanical functions. The article also reports how we actually applied IP cameras in the design of a few remote experiments, such as daytime and night-time gravitropism, and an experiment involving solar panels, through which students can enrich and extend their science learning beyond the school environment and the lesson time.
