The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of computer-animated concept cartoons and
outdoor science activities on creating awareness among seventh graders about light pollution. It
also aims to identify the views of the students on the activities that were carried out. This study
used one group pre-test/post-test experimental design model with 30 seventh graders. The data in
the study were collected via open-ended questions on light pollution and semi-structured interview
questions. The open-ended questions on light pollution were administered as a pre-test and a posttest.
After the post-test was administered, semi-structured interviews were conducted with seven
students. The data collected from the open-ended questions and semi-structured interviews were
qualitatively analysed and quotes from the students’ statements were included. Looking at the
answers of the students to questions on light pollution, it was understood that the activities that
were carried out were effective. Furthermore, all of the students that were interviewed made
positive statements about the activities that were carried out.
