Participants were randomly assigned in two groups, one control and one experimental groups. There were 31 students in control group and 48 students in experimental group. In experimental group, Powerpoint slides prepared by students were used while the lesson was conducted through the traditional teacher-centered method in control group. Science Ahievement and Cognitive Process Skills tests were administered to students in control and experimental groups before and after the instruction. At the end of the instruction, an open-ended question was asked only to participants in experimental group to learn what they thought about preparing Powerpoint and instruction with these presentations. At the result, it was detected that preparing Powerpoint slides and instruction with these presentation significantly increased prospective teachers' science achievements and cognitive process skills. Students stated that instruction with Powerpoint was very useful for learning but they faced with some problems while preparing and presenting their presentations.
