A set of planned activities is not to a class of science as a pile of thrown bricks is to a house; this is, that if it is not counted on the knowledge of the preconceptions of the students, the daily realities that they face and of the expectations that these have at the time of participating in the science classes, cannot be obtained the proposed objectives. The well-known investigatory method applied to the education of sciences approaches the conceptual contents from practical activities of easy reproduction that are guided in effective form towards the topics to teach. Guides OPPS (Operation Primary Physics Science), of Louisiana University, are excellent examples of the application of this methodology, as much in the material that corresponds to the students as in the material for the guide of the learning activities (call Leader of the class). This international experience, within the framework used of the Plans and Programs of the Ministry of Education of Chile (MINEDUC), is the main axis of this work in which the accomplishment of guides with this methodology considers, approaching contained of a unit of the common plan of physics for third grade of high school.

By applying a spatially localized correcting term to the evolution of a liquid crystal light valve in its spatiotemporal chaotic regime, we are able to restore the dynamics to a specified target pattern. The system is controlled in a finite time. The number and position of pinning points needed to attain control is also investigated.

First, the nonlinear analysis of the stationary and oscillatory convection is carried out. Then, in the scope of weak nonlinear analysis, the coefficients of the amplitude equations are evaluated, in order to be in condition to estimate the possible behavior of stationary patterns and also travelling and standing waves. The values of these coefficients are determined by means of analytical and numerical techniques for convection in polymeric fluids.

Also, at the upper interface the surface tension is taken to vary linearly with the temperature. Using a spectral method we calculate numerically the convective thresholds for both stationary and oscillatory bifurcation. The effect of the viscoelasticity and the Kelvin force on instability thresholds are emphasized.

Here, the special localized structure is a convective state between two quiescent, conductive ones, and can been interpreted as a pinning phenomenon close to a stationary sub-critical bifurcation. Generally, localized structures are described by using higher dimensional, complex amplitude or phenomenological prototype (e.g. Swift-Hohenberg) equations or by direct numerical integration of the hydrodynamic equations. Here we show, using the binary mixture convection in porous media as an example, that the analytically derived one-dimensional amplitude equation amended by non-adiabatic (non-resonant) terms important close to convection fronts, well describes localized convection states, in particular the slanted homoclinic bifurcation diagrams.
