Abstract

        The aim of the current research is to reveal the effect of studying the development of energy in the light of learning progression,Where  amatrix  was derived for learning progression of the energy concept for the six grades of the primary stage, Analyzing the books of the six grades of the primary stage to find out the extent to which they include a learning progression matrix that has been prepared , The preparation of two suggested units for the virtual path of  energy concept in the light of learning progression matrix  from the first grade to the fourth grade of primary school and the application of the two suggested units on  a research  group of the fourth grade in a primary  school in Cairo.
      The research followed the descriptive analytical method and the experimental method with its quasi- experimental one –group design, The results showed that there  were  statistically significant differences at the level ( 0.05) in favor of the post application in the development of core scientific concepts test in sections (A,B) ,Which means that the virtual path for the growth of energy concept by learning progression from the first grade to fourth grade of primary school students helped the research group in developing core scientific concepts of energy concept .
      The results also showed that there were statistically significant differences at the level (0,05) in favor of the post application in measures of habits of mind and learning satisfication.
      The research suggests addressing learning progression to other concepts such as matter concept and different dimensions such as science and engineering practices, It also propose designing curricula thourgh learning progression in different educational stages.
