In this work we present a water-driven clock (clepsydra) that uses the water
that flows from a Mariotte flask to work. By designing and building all the
elements properly, we get the seconds hand to make a full turn (1 min) at the
right pace
Presentamos una propuesta para trabajar con nuevos materiales en el aula. Hemos
construido un vehículo accionado mediante un cable de nitinol y hemos investigado posibles modificaciones para conseguir que se mueva lo más rápidamente posible.
In this work we present a spectroscope that we have constructed for science dissemination in museums. The materials used are economical and easy to handle, allowing all attendees in the spectroscopy workshop to build, use and take home a small but useful spectroscope. We also present the steps followed to construct it and the STEM activities that a...
La investigación didáctica ha puesto de manifiesto el impacto positivo que tiene la enseñanza problematizada sobre el aprendizaje de los estudiantes. En este trabajo analizamos cómo valoran los profesores de Física y Química en activo y los estudiantes del Máster de formación del profesorado una secuencia problematizada de actividades (SPA) para la...
During the last few years, research in physics education has highlighted the interest of the Arduino platform and its associated sensors in improving teaching. In this paper we present a proposal for the study of thermodynamics in introductory courses. We have built a home-made Stirling engine with low-cost materials. From a theoretical study of th...
En este artículo proponemos un itinerario para la enseñanza de la estructura
de todas las cosas, con especial atención a la base del mismo en la ESO: la
existencia de características comunes, el modelo cinético-corpuscular y la
integración de la carga eléctrica como una propiedad general de los materiales
y, por tanto, de las partículas.

Desde hace años los currículos de los principales países desarrollados apuestan por la enseñanza de las ciencias a través de la indagación. En este trabajo presentamos una secuencia para indagar sobre el funcionamiento de los motores térmicos en la ESO, un campo con enormes aplicaciones en nuestra sociedad. La secuencia plantea un problema a los al...
Research has highlighted difficulties experienced by students when studying quantum physics in introductory courses. In this paper, we present a teaching and learning sequence (TLS) aiming at introducing a quantum model of emission and absorption of radiation and we assess its impact on the students’ learning about atomic spectra. The TLS has been...
Problematized Teaching and Learning Sequence (PTLS) for quantum physics introductory courses. The document contains the student's activities and comments for teachers. It is the English version of the document "Introducción a la física cuántica - ¿Cómo se absorbe y emite radiación? - Material del profesor", located at "https://rua.ua.es/dspace/hand...
En este artículo se sugiere un itinerario para elaborar un modelo a nivel micro del funcionamiento de un circuito simple, intentando que no haya una ruptura entre la electrostática y la corriente eléctrica. Para ello se busca un modelo de conducción que se
base en las fuentes del campo eléctrico: la carga eléctrica.

The effectiveness of the problem based teaching on the science learning has been highlighted by the didactic
research. This teaching model is characterized by organizing the units around problems and by proposing a research plan to find a solution which requires concepts and models to b...
La investigación didáctica no ha llegado a un consenso sobre cómo se deben abordar los cursos introductorios de física cuántica, tanto en lo referente a los contenidos que se deben enseñar como a la interpretación física de modelos fundamentales como la dualidad onda-partícula. Ante la falta de consenso, hemos llevado a cabo un estudio histórico y...
Our study sets out to identify the difficulties that high school students, teachers, and university students encounter when trying to explain atomic spectra. To do so, we identify the key concepts that any quantum model for the emission and absorption of electromagnetic radiation must include to account for the gas spectra and we then design two qu...
La introducción de la física cuántica en el bachillerato se limita en gran medida al estudio de los espectros de los gases y el efecto fotoeléctrico, obviando la gran cantidad de aplicaciones cotidianas que esta tiene. La construcción y calibrado de un espectroscopio cuantitativo nos permite trabajar con modelos cuánticos más allá de las experienci...
Artículo enviado a RBEF que incluye el análisis del "efecto Compton"
This book presents a problem based activities program for teaching and learning the Sun and Earth movements.
The introduction of quantum physics in high school is reduced to the study of gas spectra and photoelectric effect, forgetting the wide range of daily applications. The construction and calibration of a quantitative spectroscope allow us to work with quantum models beyond the experiments that were used to establish them.
La investigación en didáctica de la ciencia ha puesto de manifiesto la importancia de una enseñanza basada en los modelos. El estudio de los procesos de emisión y absorción de radiación que dan origen a los espectros atómicos es un campo especialmente adecuado para ello. Tras una investigación histórica y epistemológica hemos establecido siete idea...
Research has shown how important is the history of science for designing and developing didactic units, for its value to promote learning and for its contribution to the students attitudes and the image of science that they learn. Physics faced a strong crisis at the beginning of the 20th century when the quantum hypothesis was introduced. The disc...
It's accepted that learning will be enhanced if students realize the difficulties that must have been faced when the scientific knowledge was established and how previous conceptions were changed for new ones. A model development based teaching strongly suits that porpoise. In this paper historical and epistemological key ideas, relevant for studen...

Analysing the history of the introduction of the photon concept and its treatment in physics textbooks we conclude that the photon concept is taught in the higher secondary school without taking into account the historical problems that it had to overcome, which makes students learning difficult.
