Abstract
This study plans to develop strategies using children's verse in science education and investigate the effects of instruction using children's verses on the attitude toward science. The study tried to determine strategies using children's science verse in order to find out their value. For the purpose of this, two classes of the 6th grade were selected in an elementary school for tests. The results from this research showed that strategies using children's verse in science education were developed and applied in teaching/learning purposes as well as in the area of literature. A strategy for remembering was applied widely. A strategy for understanding scientific principles and for quest methods, writing children's science verses directly helped in scientific conceptual formation. Instruction using children's science verses had a positive effect on the attitudes toward science. Students maintained positive attitudes throughout instruction that used children's science verses. In conclusion, instruction using children's science verses can be applied to science education, and the attitudes toward science and learning achievements can be improved.
