In order todetermine the current knowledge of microorganisms of the students, before and afterthe intervention, the success tests consisting of 38 questions were applied. Since thedata obtained from the success tests did not have normal distribution, Mann WhitneyU test was applied to the data of different groups, and furthermore, Wilcoxon MarkedRank Test was applied to data of the same group. According to the results of theanalysis, the knowledge of the participants about microorganisms differed in astatistically significant manner. As a result of the statistics of settlement variable, itwas seen that the current knowledge of microorganisms and learning levels of studentsfrom the urban and the rural are quite different from each other. With this study,concepts were taught with activities, at the same time the students gained differentperspectives about science.
