Abstract :In this study, examples of concept cartoons created by pre-service primary teachers related to certain science topics were presented. The concept cartoons created by student-teachers were examined in terms of topics they were related to, type of the characters, forms of expressions in presenting different claims of the characters. Results of the study showed that student-teachers were well aware of the misconceptions that primary school students might have posses in various science subjects and they have gained adequate skills to create appropriate concept cartoons to diagnose these misconceptions.Keywords : Concept cartoons, science teaching, pre-service primary teachers, misconceptions
