This study aimed at investigating the effect of using
modeling on third grade students’ achievement in Science in Irbic Governorate. To achieve this, the study followed quasi-experimental design. The sample of the study consisted of (69) male and female students who were distributel into two groups: control group which included (34) and experimental group which included (35) students from two different sections of third grade in Kufr Asad Mixed Primary School in the academic year (2023-2024). The experimental group was taught “Organisms” Unit by using modeling, while the control group was taught the same content using the conventional method. The results of the study revealed that there were statistically significant differences between the mean scores of both groups in the achievement test and in favour of the experimental group. The study recommended using modeling in teaching science.
