%X The aim of this research is to examine the effect of nature of science activities related science content based on explicit-reflective approach on 6th grade students. The study group consisted of 50 students studying in a public school in £¿stanbul. In this research pretest-posttest control group experimental design has been used. In the "Systems in our Body" unit, the teaching nature of science was carried out indirectly through the activities developed by Yalaki (2016) for the experimental group, using the explicit-reflective approach and for the control group using the methods and techniques suggested by the teaching program. The data were collected through the VNOS-D+ questionnaire. Analysis of the research data was carried out in two stages. In the first stage, the data were analyzed by content analysis. In the second stage, student responses were scored by dividing into 3 categories by a rubric developed by Yalaki and £¿akmak£¿£¿ (2011). The scores obtained were used for statistical analysis to clarify the level of meaningful of the change in the students¡¯ views on nature of the science. The findings of this research reveal that the explicit-reflective approach does not make a significant difference in the 6th grade students' views on the nature of science. The instruction has provided meaningful difference in the tentative nature of science, while it does not make any change in the subjective, creative and empirical nature of science. In addition, through content analysis, various results have been obtained for students' ideas on science perceptions, on thinking about change in the future, and on the objectivity of science. The results obtained from the research have been discussed in correlate to the literature and some suggestions have been presented for future researchers
