The representation of elementary student at cross-age about physics phenomenon

Naïve conceptions or misconception about the phenomenon of science are experienced by early childhood to adulthood and are not easy to change. The purpose of this study was to determine the conception of children aged 9-15 years about several scientific phenomena related to physics and biology. This...
