Data were collected from 40 pre-service elementary teachers about theirconceptual understanding of the lunar phases, reasons for seasons and day and night, andsimple electric circuits pre and post instruction. Findings show that the instructionalapproach adopted by a science teacher educator had a significant impact on pre-serviceelementary school teachers’ conceptual understanding of lunar phases, seasonal changesand simple electric circuits. The discussion focuses on pre-service elementary schoolteachers’ misconceptions about the lunar phases, seasonal changes and simple electriccircuits as revealed through their answers to the pre-test questions.
