Living/Non-livingthings cards and interview questions were used as a data collection tool in the study. When theanswers given by the children during the interviews were examined, it has been found that theconceptual understanding of living and non-living things is gathered in four categories; noconception, misconception, misunderstanding and correct understanding. Some of the childrenin the low-level of knowledge group were able to answer the names of the things they saw in thepictures partly.
