In this poster, we present briefly a constructivist instructional intervention about ?sources? and ?consumers? of energy that was applied in 6th grade of Primary school students. For the design and development of this approach we took into account the well known view of scientific literacy that learning energy?s content by citizens is an essential educative achievement. Furthermore, we took into account that the content of energy is one of the basic science contents in Greek Cross-Thematic Curriculum Framework for compulsory education.
