The introduction of<br \/>\nelements of the nature of knowledge in physics lessons has been emphasised by many educators and one<br \/>\nuses the case of metals to show the theoretical and phenomenological dimensions of physics. The<br \/>\ndiscussion is made by means of four questions whose answers cannot be reached neither for<br \/>\ntheoretical elements nor experimental measurements. Between these two dimensions it is necessary to<br \/>\nrealise a series of reasoning steps to deepen the comprehension of microscopic concepts, such as<br \/>\nelectrical resistivity, drift velocity and free electrons. When this approach is highlighted, beyond<br \/>\nthe physical content, aspects of its nature become explicit and may improve the structuring of<br \/>\nknowledge for learners on this subject.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this work we show an approach based on models, for an usual subject in an introductory physics<br \/>\ncourse, in order to foster discussions on the nature of physical knowledge.
