The science of physics is built on theories and models as well as on experiments: the former
structure relations and simplify reality to a degree such that predictions on physical phenomena
can be derived by means of mathematics. The latter allow to verify --- or falsify --- these predic-
tions. Computer sciences allow a new access to this relationship, especially well-suited for edu-
cation: 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 demon-
strate this approach on two examples: Ferro-magnetism and elementary thermodynamics.
