Abstract

Rapid advances in science and technology have revolutionized science courses and significantly increased the use of computer software. One of the most frequently used computer software in the science course is animations. Slowmations, which are one of the animation types, are a very powerful teaching material especially in science subjects where certain stages follow each other, to eliminate misconceptions and to better comprehend abstract subjects by students. The aim of this study; primary school 5th grade science lesson is to develop a slow-motion animation as a guide material for the subjects of “Moon's Properties, Movements and Phases”. Slowmation consisting of 14 scenes voiced in the language was prepared. With the inclusion of the prepared material, the misconceptions of the students will decrease, in the 21st century. It is thought that their skills will improve and their interest and motivation towards science and technology will increase. It is also foreseen that the lessons taught with this guide material will be more effective and enjoyable.
