Summary/Abstract: Every time we are using a gadget or a multimedia product we are supposed to ask about how it works. For most of the people is very hard to understand scientific explanations used in brochures because of advanced science concepts used. So, when they need some explanations they ask science teachers. Nowadays is a real challenge for a teacher to approach advanced science concepts for students. The most appropriate solution can be using constructivism pedagogy approach. Cooperative Learning can be used for science classes with students. The implementation of cooperative learning allows integration of informatics and web 2.0 tools as collaborative environment. In this paper we present some examples of informatics and online tools integrated in CL science classes for a better understanding and approach of advanced science concepts used in everyday life.
