    "abstract": "We will describe an attempt to improve children's\nunderstanding of some basic concepts in mechanics\nstarting firoman examination o[ their ideas of motion.\nChildren's personal experience of the world colours\ntheir beliefs and explanations in science. A computer\naugmented curriculum w a s designed to promote\nconceptual change in the classroom. Twenty-nine\ntwelve- and thirteen-year-olds, and their usual\nclassroom teacher tried it out. T h e computer\nprograms consisted of interactive simulations which\nallowed direct engagement with animations of real\nworld scenarios in which pupils have control over\nforces and objects. W e demonstrated that this\ncurriculum produced evidence of conceptual change.\nO u r findings have implications for the development\nof a more sophisticated view of conceptual change.",
