The study aims to study the impact of the 5E Teaching Model in Science Knowledge Teaching in First Class students on their scientific processing skills and attitudes towards the General Physics I Laboratory. Half-experimental pre-test is the sample of the study, in which the final test experiment pattern is used, composed of seventy university students. In the course of General Physics Laboratory I during the first period of the 2007/2008 academic year, the 5E Teaching Model was applied in the experimental group and the traditional verification laboratory model in the control group. As a data collection tool, the attitude test against the physical laboratory and the scientific process success test were used. These tests were applied as a preliminary and final test for both groups at the beginning and at the end of the period. The preliminary and final test data obtained from the two tests were analyzed using the SPSS package program. Statistical analysis results have shown that there are significant differences between the experimental group and the control group in terms of the students’ attitudes to the physical laboratory and the scientific processing skills.
