Theories and models structure relations and simplify reality to such a degree that predictions on physical phenomena can be derived by means of mathematics. Experiments allow to verify --- or falsify --- those predictions. Computer sciences allow a new access to this relationship which is especially well-suited for education. New Media and New Technologies provide simulations for the model, virtual instruments for running and evaluating real experiments and mathematical toolkits to solve equations derived from the theory analytically and to compare the outcome of all three methods. We will demonstrate this approach on two examples: Ferromagnetism and elementary thermodynamics.
