| Abstract: | The potential of informal sources of science learning to supplement and interact with formal classroom science is receiving
increasing recognition and attention in the research literature. In this study, a phenomenographic approach was used to determine
changes in levels of understanding of 27 grade 7 primary school children as a result of a visit to an interactive science
centre. The results showed that most students did change their levels of understanding of aspects of the concept “sound”.
The study also provides information which will be of assistance to teachers on the levels of understanding displayed by students
on this concept.
