Teaching-learning about the physical basis of greenhouse effect and global warming in high school

We present a research carried out with a group of six high school physics teachers on the implementation of a teaching learning sequence, designed by our research group, about the thermal effects of interaction between radiation and matter, infrared emission of bodies, greenhouse effect and global warming. We aimed to analyse the students’ cognitive paths during the sequence and to study how a research based TLS is transformed in a specific teaching action for a particular class context
