Gases as Idealized Lattices: A Rational Reconstruction of Students' Understanding of the Behavior of Gases.
Niaz, Mansoor
Science and Education, v9 n3 p279-87 May 2000
Establishes a relationship between students' understanding of gases and its parallels in the history of science. Finds that college freshman students' alternative conceptions about gas behavior are resistant to change and recapitulate theories scientists held in the past, such as the Lattice Theory of Gases.
