An interesting study on an approach to Physics teaching of an introduction to non-linear dynamics, at a basic level, is presented here. This study, framed on the constructivist theory of learning has led to the actual possibility of explaining in secondary clasrooms the elementary foundations of this outstanding area in modern physics. An initial exploration of the prior beliefs of pupils about mechanics and predictibility constituted the base of this attempt.
