Abstract
In recent years the rapid pace of digital advances made technological devices more accessible to a wider public and broaden their application scopes. Nowadays, schools have easier access to several technological resources, striving teachers to turn teaching and learning processes more fun, dynamic, engaging and effective.
In this study we evaluated the use of two technological resources, Arduino boards and smartphones, as science teaching tools for primary education. In this case study, we focused on a sample of 1st cycle of Basic Education students, averaging an age of 9 years old. We followed a methodological design that combined technologies with experimental work to explore natural sciences curricula, thus promoting the development of epistemic practices and the development of skills for the digital age in which we live.
