In the analysis of quantitative data, SPSS was used. In the analysis of interview data, descriptive qualitative analysis was applied. Based on research findings, it was determined that students have scientific knowledge about scientific concepts as well as knowledge that is not scientific.

However, in some of the concepts, 7th grade students showed lower performance than 6th and 8th grade students.
