%X The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of Vee-Diagrams on sixth grade primary school students¡¯ achievement in science experiments. This study has been conducted in six different primary schools with 393 sixth grade primary school students from the city of Manisa and the district of K rka a  by purposive sampling method. A pre-test, post-test and quasi-experimental design have been used in the study. The two instruments (¡°System¡± and ¡°Electricity¡± achievement tests) have been developed to be used in the study. The data obtained in this study have been analyzed and evaluated using analysis of variance (Repeated-ANOVA) and descriptive statistical methods. According to the analyzed results, it has been concluded that using Vee-diagrams in science experiments is more effective than traditional methods on sixth grade students¡¯ achievements in primary schools (for system achievement test: F1,331=66,364, p<0,05; and for electricity achievement test: F1,331=4,900, p<0,05) .
