Özet:The purpose of this qualitative study is to examine 7th grade Eco-Schools students’ mental models of greenhouse effect. The sample of this study was comprised of 109 7th grade students attending three Eco Schools in İstanbul. The data were collected by a draw-and-write survey. In this survey, students were asked to draw their understandings of the greenhouse effect and explain their drawings. Their source of information was also asked to the students in the survey. As a result of inductive analysis of students’ drawings and explanations, five different mental models emerged: (1) Reasons and Results of Greenhouse Effect, (2) Misconception - Ozone Layer Depletion and Greenhouse Effect, (3) Misconception – Daily Temperature Difference, (4) Scientific Explanation of Greenhouse Effect, (5) Misconception – Greenhouse used for Agricultural Purposes.
