Summary:The aim of this study is to prepare a lesson plan which aims to teach the subject of cylinder for 7th grade students at primary school, to implement designed lesson plan and to make an evaluation of the results. With this purpose, 76 students participated in this research. Interviews were made with 9 students at the end of the implementation. It was found that successful students have participated in the activities which provide relation between the knowledge which will be taught and have been taught actively. However, unsuccessful students were not able to do this. As a result, it is seen that students cannot explain the cause and effect relationships lying under the knowledge they have had before. Thus, they cannot associate the old knowledge with the new one.
