Tool of Association Concept; Volume of Concept
Concepts are the building blocks of science. Concepts which are the most important element in structuring the information are units of our thoughts. Concepts of science are increasing the ratio of students to associate these concepts with different methods, techniques and tools. The importance of the concept tools is great in the learning of concepts. Education of the concept would be useful if different concept tools are developing. Purpose this study; concept tools which advantage volumes of the atomic elements were prepared for determine the relationship between concepts. This concept tools was inspired by the science subjects in the preparation. Method; in this study, tool of association concept has been developed. Volume of atomic elements assembly using for provided knowledge about the elements and electrons in the 7th and 8th grade science class students. Results; It was added a new tools of association concept when existing. New and original a concept tool was obtained. It is named "volume of concept". Thanks to these tools the concept can be specified in a unity. Depending on the relationship between concepts, it is provides more collective appear. Volume of concept was prepared without the cost. Advice; volume of concept can be tested for applications in science education. Its format can be prepared in computer for students who forced the drawing. It investigated the effect on learning
