%X Purpose: The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of using Predict ¨C Observe - Explain (POE) method in the unit of ¡°Earth, the Moon and the Sun as the Source of Life¡¯¡¯ on the problem solving skills of 6th graders. Design & Methodology: In the study, quasi-experimental research has been used with a pre-test, post-test control group. The study group consists of 47 students who are 6thgraders in 2016-2017 educational year and a province in the western side of Turkey. The group with regular Science Program consist of 24 students (13 girls and 11 boys) and the group with Guess-Observe-Explain Method consists of 23 students (13 girls and 10 boys). In order to identify the problem solving skills of the students, ¡®¡¯The Inventory of Problem Solving¡¯¡¯ which was developed by Serin, Serin and Sayg£¿l£¿ (2010) has been used. The data which has been provided has been analyzed with single factorial covariance analysis by taking grades which were gained by participants from pre-tests under control. Findings: The research findings showed that it has been found out that there is a slight difference between the pre-test results and post-test results which were corrected according to pre-test results of the problem solving skills of the students. Implications & Suggestions: This findings showed that GOE method has positive effects on the problem solving skills of 6thGraders. Taking into account that the GOE method enhances problem-solving skills of students; The GOE method can also be used by researchers in other subjects of the science class
