| Description | This paper describes an ongoing project to build a multimedia application that presents Einstein's theory of relativity in a cartoon environment. This article argues for the use of the cartoon animation form in science education for future teachers. Several examples from Theory of Relativity in our "Cartoon Guide to Relativity" present the ways in which that form can enhance science explanation. While further wider research may be needed, this article seeks to find the groundwork for a basic science education in attractive form that shows science in action and engages student’s awareness of scientific development. |
