                     MULTIMEDIA AND ITS RELATION TO SCIENCE
Introduction
• Multimedia is the use of a computer to present and combine text, graphics, audio, and video 
with links and tools that let the user navigate, interact, create, and communicate.

Multimedia Computer System
• Multimedia computer system has high capacity to integrate different media including text, 
image, graphics, audio, and video.
• The multimedia computer system stores, represents, processes, manipulates, and makes 
available to users.

Features of Multimedia Computer System
• Its Central Processing Unit (CPU) is very fast, as it needs to process large amount of data.
• It has huge storage capacity.
• It has huge memory power that helps in running heavy data programs.
• It has high capacity graphic card that helps in displaying graphics, animation, video, etc.

MULTIMEDIA APPLICATION
Digital Library
• The need to be physically present at a library is no more necessary. Libraries can be accessed 
from the Internet also. Digitization has helped libraries to come to this level of development.

E-learning
• Today, most of the institutions (public as well as private both) are using such technology to 
education people.

Why We Use Multimedia in Science Education? 
• Visually demonstrate scientific ideas and concepts
• Instill a sense of wonder and excitement in students about the world around them
• Present local, relevant case studies
• Provide examples of real people practicing science

Info-graphic animations
• Information graphics are visual representations of data that present complex information 
quickly and clearly. They improve cognition by emphasizing visual patterns and trends.

Interactive video
• Interactive videos are similar to simulations; it allowing the viewer to determine what they 
see. 
• They are distinguished by the mode of interaction; instead of answering a question to 
determine an outcome, the learner clicks elements within the video itself and be they 
onscreen graphics, objects or characters.
