One of the very important aspects of Project-Based Education (PBE) is the process of planning the time, especially when project assumes many long-term activities. The final success of the project or its failure depends on the proper planning of tasks, determining which activities should be carried out first and which must be carried out later.

These planning actions have to be done during the preparatory phase of the project, however after recognition of activities that have to be taken in the project. Thisprocess is difficult for pupils, especially at lower education levels, because they are not used to holistic and detailed planning.

Thus, students should be equipped with a tool that will help them in this area. There are various tools supporting planningthe activities in timeframes.

One of them, used in various professional projects is the Gantt diagram but it is not commonly used in a school practice. It is why it was decided to check whether primary school students are able to schedule the activities specified in the project with the use of Gantt diagram.

The research were carried out among primary school students in grades 7 and 8, aged 12-14. Results of the research are discussed in the paper.
