Abstract
The aim of the present study is included in the wide field of studies of Natural Sciences and in particular it is aimed at assessing the learning object “The journey of energy”, which was created for the needs of the present research work. The learning object includes a series of enriched interactive activities which are structured according to the structure of the Curriculum for the teaching of energy in Physics at the Primary Schools. The learning object was available in the user repository (e-yliko) of the “Photodentro” and the evaluation results showed that the specific learning object is sufficient and suitable for use in the educational process, meeting all the evaluation criteria of the LOEM evaluation model.
