This program accommodates students who have encountered barriers to learning science compared to conventional approaches. An ad hoc sequence is proposed with a dual objective: to work on knowledge related to matter through scientific practices of argumentation, inquiry, and modeling; and to use these practices as a tool to facilitate overcoming potential barriers to learning in science. The didactic methodology used was inquiry-based learning. The research employs qualitative analysis of video recordings. Emerging categories have been established that allow us to conclude the difficulties in identifying magnitudes that define matter, especially "air". The sequence has addressed these difficulties through experimental demonstrations designed by the students themselves, which they later constructed and presented. It has been observed that working with scientific practices has allowed for the direction of individual potential, both procedurally and conceptually. This has contributed to overcoming some barriers to learning science in general and the concepts of matter and air in particular. Esta investigación presenta una secuencia de actividades para trabajar el concepto de materia en educación secundaria con alumnado del Programa de Aprendizaje Inclusivo en Aragón (España). Este programa acoge a alumnado que ha encontrado barreras para aprender ciencias frente a propuestas usuales. Se plantea una secuencia ad hoc con doble objetivo: trabajar los conocimientos vinculados a la materia mediante las prácticas científicas de argumentación, indagación y modelización; y usar las prácticas como herramienta para facilitar la superación de posibles barreras para el aprendizaje en ciencias. La metodología didáctica ha sido el aprendizaje por indagación. La investigación usa un análisis cualitativo de grabaciones de vídeo. Se han establecido categorías emergentes que permiten concluir las dificultades para identificar magnitudes que definan la materia, en especial, el “aire”. La secuencia ha trabajado con estas dificultades mediante demostraciones experimentales diseñadas por el propio alumnado, que después construyeron y expusieron. Se ha observado que trabajar las prácticas científicas ha permitido dirigir el potencial individual, en lo procedimental y conceptual. Ello ha contribuido a superar algunas barreras para el aprendizaje de la ciencia en general y los conceptos de materia y aire, en particular.
