This study examines the impact of the developed hands-on teachingmaterials on pupils' science knowledge, and attitudes toward science investigation. The study involved 149 sixth grade pupils from one public elementary school in the Philippines. Prior to and at the end of the instructional intervention, pupils were given questionnaires. The results show that the developed hands-on teaching materials effectively improved pupils' knowledge about convection concept, and generate positive attitudes toward science investigation. The results also indicate that pupils enjoyed doing inquiry actions like posing a question, making a hypothesis, planning and carrying out the procedure, recording their observations, making conclusions and sharing ideas with classmates. The findings in this study also provide evidence that the developed hands-on teaching materials are feasible and effective method for teaching air convection to sixth grade Filipino pupils.
