In this paper the design and development of a new approach in teaching physics, based on the search for students’ naive conceptions (Misconceptions (Posner, 1982), Naïve Conceptions (Champagne & Klopfer, 1983)), is presented. Starting from the current education context and the theoretical bases of naive conceptions, this work focuses on two key elements: the first consists in the design of a tool that allows to investigate the students misconceptions to move then to the search of a way to overcome them and acquire competences and deep understanding. This method combines the innovative didactics approaches developed in recent years (e.g. Cooperative learning, Peer education, Flipped Classroom) with use of laboratory activities
