The new curriculum of basic education advocates for students ' basic competencies, also should promote independent learning, allow students to participate, willing to explore, dare to experiment, diligent in thinking, and help students learn scientific knowledge and skills, develop the ability of scientific inquiry, and ultimately train the scientific spirit and attitude through diverse teaching methods. The rapid development of information technology activities for scientific inquiry into a new life, especially in sensor technology and computer technology based on the digital research experimental equipment, also provide a new opportunity for the integration of information technology and science teaching.This research focus on " the feasibility and effectiveness of digital experiments into middle science teaching ", discussing the core of digital experiments science teaching in junior high school can highlight their unique educational function.The study is in the guidance of philosophy of the new curriculum reform. First of all, overview of digital experiment teaching status and teaching functions from the theoretical, and explain the concepts of scientific literacy and scientific inquiry, the relation of technology and science education ,scientific inquiry teaching; Secondly, from the subject of features and characteristics of middle school students in cognitive science and discussing the introduction of digital technology is effective and feasible. Through controling group experimental study and surveying teachers and students in the two aspects, practice of the introduction of digital experiments junior high school science teaching on the teaching function; Finally, through the careful design of teaching, forming a typical case, implement classroom teaching, and observation classroom teaching in real-time, support in junior high school science teaching the digital experimental technique of introducing is effective and feasible.Theoretical studies have shown that the introduction of digital experiments, innovative scientific experiment exploring the content, and wide the horizons of students experiment and experimental sense, leave more time for creative learning; but also help students to experience a more authentic scientific inquiry environment, is conducive to students scientific literacy, is beneficial to explore the manner of teaching and learning, help to train students in information literacy, also, digital experiment reflect the scientific features, meet the student's cognitive Development. Experimental studies have shown that the introduction of digital experiments help students to understand scientific facts, application of scientific evidence as well as stimulate and maintain interest in science. Through questionnaires, that teachers and students in full certain digital of laboratories in the function, strongly recommend that scientific inquiry in middle school teaching introduction of a suitable system of digital experiments. Through experiments based on the digital experiment of teaching cases of reflection, that the introduction of digital experiments is more conducive to the implementation of the teaching in junior secondary science inquiry teaching. Final conclusion of this study is that in middle school science teaching in the experimental introduction of digital technology is effective and feasible.
