Abstract

Concepts
are the building blocks of science. Concepts which are the most important
element in structuring the information are units of our thoughts. Concepts of
science are increasing the ratio of students to associate these concepts with
different methods, techniques and tools. The importance of the concept tools is
great in the learning of concepts. Education of the concept would be useful if
different concept tools are developing. Purpose this study; concept tools which
advantage volumes of the atomic elements were prepared for determine the
relationship between concepts. This concept tools was inspired by the science
subjects in the preparation. Method; in this study, tool of association concept
has been developed. Volume of atomic elements assembly using for provided
knowledge about the elements and electrons in the 7th and 8th grade science
class students. Results; It was added a new tools of association concept when
existing. New and original a concept tool was obtained. It is named
"volume of concept". Thanks to these tools the concept can be
specified in a unity. Depending on the relationship between concepts, it is
provides more collective appear. Volume of concept was prepared without the
cost. Advice; volume of concept can be tested for applications in science
education. Its format can be prepared in computer for students who forced the
drawing. It investigated the effect on learning
