In order to shed some light whether fifth grade students are able to comprehend and correlate size, mass, volume with density and solve
problems related to the above concepts, the current study was designed. Specifically if animated cartoons help student to finally differen-
tiated the aforementioned concepts and how they connect them in resolving related problems. Also it should be noted that all students
were taught the concepts of weight, mass and volume separately in the past years and density prior this year by the current school
teachers.
The study was designed to address the questions:
? If animated cartoons help students to differentiate the concepts of mass, volume and density?
? If animated cartoons recall prior knowledge more effectively in fifth grade students?
? If animated cartoons can be used as a supplementary didactical tool for teachers in elementary school?
