Description

A Teaching-Learning Sequence, designed to promote scientific practices in high school students, is presented. The TLS included laboratory experiences on linear motion using low-cost tools, as Arduino, which were easy to replicate in other schools. The focus was on the process of laboratory work, the use of different representations and the development of arguments based on evidence. Collaborative working methods were used; the TLS was modified to fit the teaching method of the teachers involved. The TLS was tested in three classes and replicated in two more. Preliminary results suggest that the TLS helped students to achieve the intended goals.
