Abstract

The aim of the study is to show interest of primary school students’ to our solar system, planets, space weather and to raise awarenes on these issues. In this research, awareness of 8-year-old students at Istanbul Halkalı Cumhuriyet Primary School on “space and earth system” was analysed. Training methodologies solar – earth systems, weather conditions, astronomy and related contents have been supported by art, music, literature, language and philosophy. An integrated education and awareness program were implemented by making use of body percussion. In the first stage, a questionnaire consisting of 15 questions was applied to 20 students and the students were sung with a ukulele and a song written on the subject. Afterwards, the song was repeated several times with the accompaniment of the students. Then, the students were asked to perform body percussion movements as they wanted by singing a song. Video and audio recordings were taken from the students. At the second stage, these students were given a presentation about space, earth and planets, and then they were asked to answer the same survey questions and to perform body percussion movements again. In both stages, the survey questions were analysed by using SPSS Package Program and screenshots of music audio signals analysed. Video records were digitalized and data was transferred to the computer. The project Results show that there is no a serience differences between boys and girls reactions. The awareness of space and earth sciences showed slightly an increasing trend at the 1st stage and the the second one.
