The oral and written responses were analysed. Itwas found that the languages of experience, as opposed tothe language of schooling, issues were a salient featureof the childrens oral responses. Misconceptions were evident in writtenand oral responses of both age groups. Results indicated that Piagetsstage theory still has a significant contribution to make to scienceteaching. Oral testing must be given due stress in assessing pupilachievement.
