. The researcher resulted in the following results:
1-There are statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the children of the experimental group at the level of significance (0.001) in the pre-measurements and post measurements in the illustrated astronomical concepts scale  in favor of the post-measurements.
2-There are statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the children of the experimental group and the mean scores of the control group at the level of significance (0.001) in the post-measurement of the illustrated astronomical concepts scale in favor of the experimental group.
 3-there were no statistically significant differences between the mean scores of the children of the experimental group in the post and follow-up measurements in the illustrated astronomical concepts scale.
