This paper describes how technology and web application can support Science Education. In particular, the case study of ACARISS project was proposed as an example of collaboration between schools and universities. The project aims to combine the competences of teachers and researchers in order to facilitate the learning of science and technology in secondary schools. In this contest, a specific website was developed to help researchers, teachers and students sharing materials, describing the progress of class activities and exchanging experiences between schools.
