Abstract

This study was conducted to understand elementary school from third to sixth grade students' conceptions of evaporation and condensation to classified by grade and examples of questionnaires. For this purpose, 1606 students from 3rd grade to 6th grade were involved. They had conceptions of evaporation and condensation questionnaire. The results of this study were as the following: Firstly, students have to know about the basic conceptions to understand conceptions of evaporation and condensation. Secondly, it would appear that these ideas can sometimes be influenced in unintended ways and be not easily changed by science teaching. Thirdly, it would appear that they understood conceptions of evaporation better than that of condensation.
