Abstract: This study addresses a notable gap in the literature by exploring the integration of innovative strategies--specifically Web 2.0-based dialogic teaching--into out-of-school learning environments. The research investigated 7th-grade students' awareness of Web 2.0 tools, their performance on a thought experiment (the Sugar Cube), their cognitive engagement, and reflections on the activity, all facilitated through Web 2.0 platforms. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the study involved 20 volunteer students and utilized a Web 2.0 tools awareness scale, a thought experiment task, and semi-structured interviews. Findings indicate that dialogic teaching in an out-of-school context enhanced students' awareness of Web 2.0 tools, deepened their engagement in scientific thought experiments, and supported higher-order thinking. Originally designed for seventh graders, the activity demonstrates potential adaptability across different grade levels, curricular goals, and informal learning settings. The study contributes practical strategies for fostering student engagement, guidance for improving technological access in underserved areas, and theoretical insights into the digital integration of dialogic teaching and thought experiments in science education.
