Abstract

Tangible User Interfaces are one of the ideas to develop a learning materials as an invisible computing system. First, we developed a tangible learning system for learning Solar System that allows the users themselves to manipulate astronomical models of the sun, earth, and moon, which exist as visible tangible bodies. Second, the tangible learning system was implemented in an elementary school science class and twenty 6th grade students from a public elementary school participated in this practical study. The results clearly showed that the comprehension test scores of students who scored high on mental rotation test increased greatly following the class using the tangible learning system.
