The gardening activities were guided and taught by a teacher who was in charge during inventive optional classes. 30 third grade students participated in the experimental group as part of an school gardening class, and 28 third grade students served as the control group. Within groups, the total score of scientific interest was significantly increased and the interest in science as the sub-category of scientific interest was also significantly improved in experimental group.
