The reliability of motivation towards science learning scale was (0.89), whereas the reliability of academic achievement test was (0.75). The results of the study showed a statically significant difference between the experimental and control groups in favor of the experimental groupin both the motivationtowardslearning scienceand academic achievement. In light of these results, the study proposed several recommendationsto improve science teaching at grade ninesuch as conducting a training workshops for teachersand supervisorson how to plan teachingusing flippedclassroom.
