ABSTRACT This study was made in order to determine the effect of roundhouse diagram on the success in learning of force and motion unit, at 7th grade primary school student. For this reason, in this study, experimental and control groups were used with a semi-empirical method. Research was done with a total of 372 students studying at 7th grade in four different primary schools. While Students in the control group (N=189) were learning the unit within the scope of subjects in the constructivist curriculum activities, students in the experimental group (N = 183) were trying to learn the unit with roundhouse diagram along with the constructivist learning activities. Student's knowledge on "Force and Motion" was measured by an achievement test. The data obtained were calculated using t-test, and thus, the experiment group students than control group students were found to be more successful. Key Words: Science and technology education, Roundhouse diagram, Force and motion.
