Description
As part of the AT-NE-ST project, which aims to bring children closer to complexity and sensors, we designed and tested an educational path for middle schools concerning the development of the concepts of heat and temperature. It is based on a narrative approach and the exploitation of basic mental schemes. A series of measurements are carried out using appropriate sensors on model buildings in which parameters can be varied. Results show that pupils are able to describe these experiments, but still struggle when it comes to developing a coherent abstract model for even the simplest thermal phenomena.
