%X The purpose of this study is to evaluate the unit ¡°How Electricity Affects our Lives¡± in a sixth grade primary school Science Course by using Multiple Intelligence Theory-based activities. This study was conducted with 292 (for pre-test), and 210 (for post-test) students from eight public schools in the province of Bal kesir. A Pre-test ¨C post-test control group quasi-experimental design was used in the study. ¡°Multiple Intelligence Inventory¡± and ¡°Electricity Achievement Test¡± were administered as pre-test and post-test to both experimental and control groups before and after the instruction, respectively. According to analyzed results, it is concluded that Multiple Intelligence-based teaching activities were more effective than traditional teaching methods with respect to the Electricity Achievement Test scores; however, there was not much difference found in terms of the Multiple Intelligence Inventory scores between the two groups.
