The purpose of this research is to examine the effects of teaching practices on students' academic achievement and attitudes in out-of-school learning environments, aimed at the achievements of the 5th grade Science Lesson "Sun, Earth, Moon" unit. This application was carried out in the classroom and out-of-school learning environments with 28 students in the experimental group, while the teaching practices in the "Sun, Earth, Moon" unit of the 5th grade Science Lesson were carried out only in the school environment with 27 students in the control group. The unit about the students in the experimental group was taught in the classroom for 8 hours. Then, outside the school, the students in the experimental group observed the structure of the Sun with a telescope at Sancaktepe Science Center for 4 hours and watched the simulation of celestial bodies through the planetarium. The students in the experimental group studied three-dimensional materials at Kocaeli Science Center for another 4 hours, and in the workshops there, they prepared three-dimensional materials about the phases of the Moon and created models according to the sizes of the Sun, Earth and Moon. With the students in the control group, the related unit was taught in the school for 16 hours. From the quantitative data obtained from this study, it was seen that there were statistically significant differences in favor of the experimental group in the attitude post-test scores (p<0.05) and the post-test scores obtained from the achievement test (p<0.05).
