Abstract
In this study, we present an investigation of how modeling with embodiment can help to learn about natural phenomena that are far from the human eye. In particular, we analyze this tool to study updated models of matter components and their interactions (particle physics) in high school. We perform a qualitative analysis where we describe the methodological procedure in detail. 71 students are evaluated according to two factors: first, if they are able to build the final scientific model. Second, their degree of autonomy in this process. We also cross-check the qualitative results with a quantitative pre-post analysis, using a test about the general knowledge of particle physics, from classical models to the new models. The results are positive in both the qualitative and the quantitative analysis.
期刊介绍：
Physics Education seeks to serve the physics teaching community and we welcome contributions from teachers. We seek to support the teaching of physics to students aged 11 up to introductory undergraduate level. We aim to provide professional development and support for teachers of physics around the world by providing: a forum for practising teachers to make an active contribution to the physics teaching community; knowledge updates in physics, educational research and relevant wider curriculum developments; and strategies for teaching and classroom management that will engage and motivate students.
