This bachelor thesis deals with the teaching of photosynthesis in primary school science classes. The aim of the thesis was to validate a teaching program with elements of inquiry- oriented teaching, to find out its effectiveness on the level of knowledge acquired by the pupils of the seventh year at the second grade of the primary school. To investigate the educational effect, an initial pre-test was designed to ascertain the pupils' prior knowledge. Furthermore, the knowledge acquired after the laboratory tasks were carried out was analyzed and verified by an analogous post-test. The premise was that the laboratory activity would motivate the pupils' interest in science and provide a better understanding of photosynthesis, especially its inputs, waste substances and products. Another aim of this thesis was to find out how pupils perceive the attractiveness, value and usefulness of the tutorial after completing it and how they evaluate their efforts in this type of learning. A standardized IMI (Intrinsic Motivation Inventory) questionnaire survey was used to determine the above. The paper describes in detail the different laboratory tasks that were part of the curriculum applied in science classes, as well as the procedures necessary for their implementation and the students' reactions to the...
