| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of using the relational chart of core knowledge. Forty-six junior high school students studied the topic about changes in physical state of matter using the relational chart in lessons that were extended to six hours, and their understanding was evaluated both before (pre-test) and after (post-test) the lessons.
We obtained the following two results : 1. Junior high school students who studied using the relational chart realized that the topic of changes of state was connected with the particle model of matter.
2. The post-test showed that more than 60% of the junior high school students tried to explain the advanced task by using the particle model of matter.
