description

In this article we report our findings about the ideas sustained a sample of students (from 7th E.G.B. grade to C.O.U. in the Spanish Education, 12 to 18 years old) on the concept of vacuum. Data were obtained by administration of a questionary of multiple choice. The results shows that pupils have difficulties in conceptualizing empty space idea. Moreover, these difficulties persist even after instruc- tion and parallel in way remarkable the historical development of scientific concepts.
