This study aims to determine the effects of design-based activities related to sound and its properties on the knowledge and attitude levels of sixth-grade students and to examine students' perspectives on teaching science lessons with design-based science education applications. Embedded pattern, which is one of the mixed method researches, was used in the study. In the research process, a case study from qualitative research applications and single-group pre-test and post-test experimental study design from quantitative research applications were used. The study group consists of 24 students studying at the sixth-grade level of a public school. The semi-structured interview form, student diary, and design-based science education application modules were used as qualitative data collection tools while the science attitude scale and the academic achievement test for the unit of sound and its characteristics were used as quantitative data collection tools. As a result of the research in which content and descriptive analysis were used together, it was seen that design-based science education applications caused an increase in the academic achievement and attitude scores of the sixth-grade students and a positive change occurred in the views of the participant students towards the science course.
