Summer science camp for middle school students: A Turkish

The present study identified the effectiveness of summer science camp experience on middle school students' knowledge and interest towards biology. The findings showed that middle school students' understanding increased; however, their understanding is mainly partial and also some of students have misconceptions. Although it is not appropriate to generalize from a single preliminary study, the findings suggest that misconceptions identified in this study can be seen elsewhere. This might help the researchers who want to conducted research in future. Identified misconceptions in this study and the others in biology reported in the literature should be considered while designing future science programs again.
