Introduction
The topics of science education which I studied are science teacher education, scientific inquiry teaching and students' conceptual change. In my researches, the primary objective is to improve the effects of science teaching. Furthermore, my science major is physics. I am interested in developing the scientific activities and experiments which students can do in the classrooms.
