Activity Plans Based On 7E Model Of Constructivist Approach On The Subjects Of “Matter And Heat” In Science And Technology Course
Abstract
The main purpose of this study is to develop some activity plans by 7E model of the
constructivist approach on the subjects of “Matter and Heat” in Science and Technology course. 7E
model of the constructivist approach consists of stages such as Elicite, Engage, Explore, Explain,
Elaborate, Evaluate and Extend. The activities related to subjects about “Matter and Heat” were adapted
by each stage in 7E model of constructivist approach. The activity plans were arranged by acquisitions
determined for Science and Technology course. So, the application duration of the activities were
determined by these acquisitions. This study contains a 4-hour lesson plan on “Matter and Heat” unit in
Science and Technology course using the mind mapping technique in 7E learning model and samples of
students’ activities according to this plan.
