Özet
With the science teaching program that is implemented in Turkey, it is aimed to raise individuals who is able to
do researches, question the things, and make cause and effect relations by using the new information in his daily
activities. This study aims to determine how much 6th grade students can relate some science concepts that are in
“Force and Motion” unit of science lesson to their basic daily activities. Qualitative analysis was done for the
study. It was implemented by using semi-structured interview forms with 18 6th-grade students of a secondary
school in Istanbul, who studied specified subjects previously and have low, medium and high academic
achievement. To achieve internal validity for the interview form, 2 academicians were asked for their opinions
and the form took its final form accordingly. Semi-structured interview form was designed after a related
literature review was done. Content analysis was used for the data analysis. As a result of a content analysis done
on the students’ answers, it was seen that the students can relate the scientific explanations related to the
concepts of directions and aspects of force, resultant force, balanced and unbalanced forces and speed from
“Force and Motion” unit of science lesson to their basic daily activities to a small extent.
