The developed activities were evaluated by 2 field experts, and necessary arrangements were made according to their statements. Criteria for choosing activities are that whether they are appropriate for the middle school level and for teachers use comfortably, for a use in the duration of the course and for the science curriculum. With the developed activities, middle school students were asked to focus on the difference between observation and inference, the role of scientists' imagination and creativity in the creation of scientific knowledge, and tentativeness of scientific knowledge.
