Description
The evaluation of a teaching-learning sequence (TLS) on the particulate nature of matter (PNM) based on crystal structures is presented. The TLS has been developed in a design-based research project. To test if the TLS fosters students’ use of the PNM it was introduced to several 8th-grade classes in Vienna. Students’ use of the PNM was measured with a pretest and posttest. Preliminary results based on limited data suggest that students use the PNM in the posttest significantly more often. However, regarding phase transitions, most students remain in a continuous perception of matter even after the intervention.
