Abstract
We make the hypothesis that students have difficulty to understand causality in ecosystems due to a lack in flexible recategorization. The experimental group (N=257) followed sciences sessions based on the recategorization principle. It showed better results at the post-test to anticipate consequences in food chain compared to control group (N=257).
