description This study reports on the implementation of an activity that used argument-driven inquiry methods and its effects on students’ learning. “Let’s Examine the Serial Circuits” activity on the "Electricity Energy" unit was developed and implemented in a science lesson with the participation of 32 seventh grade students. As a result of participating in the activity, the students comprehended that the brightness of a lamp depends on the total resistance of the circuit and the current flowing through the lamp when the voltage is constant in series connected circuits. Also, the students improved their teamwork and communication skills. As a result of this study, we suggest (1) applying the argument-driven inquiry method to teach the other science units and examining the effects on student learning (2) determining the effects of the argument-driven inquiry method on the acquisition of other skills important in 21st century such as creativity and innovativation.
