摘要：Aim of this study is determination of elementary students’ knowledge levels and misconceptions about subject of greenhouse effect. The study has been conducted in 319 students who are randomly chosen from 6th, 7th and 8th classes in five elementary schools in Kayseri in Turkey. To obtain adequate data about the greenhouse effect knowledge level of the students, the literature has been reviewed and a scale has been developed. This scale is likert type and consists of 36 expressions. The reliability coefficient of scale was calculated α=.87. As a result of obtained findings, it has been determined that knowledge levels about greenhouse effect of the students are too low and there is no statistical important difference between classes. Besides, it was determined that lots of students have these misconceptions; “As the greenhouse effect increases, the incidence of skin cancer would increase (46%); becoming thinner the ozone layer will cause an increase in greenhouse effect (37%);.”
