The science learning in elementary schools focused on facilitating students’ concept construction and understanding. However, the students remain the challenges on learning those science concepts. To address the problem, a cloud-based concept map platform named CoCoing.info was utilized to realize the effectiveness of online concept map construction on natural science course, and to study the students’ learning achievement on the platform, a study lasted for eighteen weeks was conducted. In the study, two classes (N=50) as experimental group and control group separately were applied. The students in the experimental group learned natural science concepts and constructed individual and group concept maps on CoCoing.info platform while the students in the control group constructed paper-based concept maps. Both groups of concept maps were evaluated, and the students completed a questionnaire for analyzing learning satisfaction. The results indicated cooperative cloud concept map was significantly effective than individual paper-based concept maps, and the experimental group students had higher degree of learning satisfaction.
