Article Main Content

The main purpose of this study is to develop some activity plans by 7E model of the constructivist approach on the subjects of acid, base and indicators in physical science course. Constructivist 7E approach consists of seven stage such as Elicit, Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate and Extend. Many activities related to physical Science subjects about ‘Acid, Base and Indicators’ were adapted by each and every stage of constructivist 7E approach. The activity plans were arranged for acquisition knowledge of physical science course. So, the application duration of the activities was determined by these acquisitions. A learning design by 7E model of constructivist approach of acid base and indicators in physical science course using mind mapping techniques.
