Implementation and evaluation of a teaching-learning sequence for Primary school students: The case of the size of objects and observation tools
Abstract
This paper concerns the implementation and evaluation of a Teaching Learning Sequence (TLS) for the content of Nanoscience-Nanotechnology, focusing on the Size of objects and Observation tools. The participants were sixth grade primary school students, who completed a questionnaire before and after the implementation of the TLS. The results show that after the implementation of the TLS, a large part of the students classified correctly all the macro, micro and nanoworld objects mentioning the correct observation tool of each group of objects, as well as they ordered correctly the objects from the biggest to smallest.
