Description

Physics deals with complexity by reducing it to a limited number of universal principles. Since we live in a world characterised by an increasing complexity in all fields, an indispensable educational challenge arises for basic science education. Here we describe the outcomes of the first stage of a two-year project on complexity we have been developing for schools. It exploits the use of primary metaphors already available in the language of children and applied to the description of the characteristics of a circuit, whether it be the movement of marbles inside a tube or the flowing of electric current.
