Abstract

In this research we describe the application of a Project-Based Learning activity on energy. Students analyse energetic changes to build an aerostatic balloon. We have analysed students’ productions before and after the activity. Our findings show that students progress in different ways in their abilities to describe and their abilities to use energy models.
