The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network composed of various objects and devices connected to the Internet, which has great potential for education. In order to verify the potential of IoT in an interdisciplinary approach of the science curriculum in the 3rd Cycle of Basic Education the Smart Objects Linked to Learning (SOLL) project, which is an interactive, dynamic and interdisciplinary learning platform, supported by a set of technologies that collect and store data from a greenhouse for later interdisciplinary analysis has thus developed. The aim of this article is to show, from a mixed methodology approach, the robustness of the SOLL educational platform in an interdisciplinary learning process. Through student surveys and questionnaires and focus group interviews with teachers, the obtained data show, in general, that this platform responds to the new learning community structure, by adopting a different learning model, based on the exploration of interests and the enrichment of educational experiences.
