The study was implemented with thirty (30) students. Quantitative results demonstrated that \nthe intervention enhanced the inquiry ability of all students. Qualitative results demonstrated that it is essential for \nstudents to practise modeling activities. It is also essential that the realisation of experiments in computer follow \nthe realisation of real experiments, in order to activate the students reasoning in greater depth and support them \npass to formal thought. The study adds to the existing literature on designing learning environments.
