“…One of the major problems facing science teaching is the existence of strongly rooted alternative 2 / 14 conceptions in the minds of students, which are very difficult to change and, in some cases, survive long years of schooling. These preconceptions are mental constructs that students develop in response to their need to interpret natural phenomena or scientific concepts, and to provide explanations, descriptions or predictions but which, in many cases, if not properly guided, can contribute to reinforcing students' difficulties in learning science (Belachew, 2020;Chi, 2005;Chi & Roscoe, 2002;Chin & Pierce, 2019;Treagust & Duit, 2008;Vosniadou, 2007). It is therefore essential for teachers to be aware of the main preconceptions that their students may have, those that they themselves may have, those found in teaching materials and textbooks, and based on this, to constantly seek teaching strategies that promote conceptual change among their students (Anggoro et al, 2019;Bahar, 2003;Cakir, 2008;Duit & Treagust, 2003;Sinatra & Mason, 2008).…”
