The experimental group studied through Galeen strategy of scientific imagery. while the control group learned following the regular way of teaching. The study's two instruments (Science processes test and achievement motivation scale) had been administered before and after the experiment. After the collection and analysis of data the study obtained a number of results most important of which were. 1. There existed statistically significant differences at the level (0.05) between the mean scores of the experimental and control groups students in their achievement on the two instruments of the study in behalf of the experimental group students. 2. The results obtained stressed that the effect size of this strategy had been large in promoting essential science operations and student motivation on the part of the experimental students, since the value of (d) for science processes was (3.96) and for achievement motivation (5.2), thus emphasizing the effectiveness of utilizing Galeen strategy of scientific imagery in promoting basic processes of science and motivation for achievement; the study presented a number of recommendations based upon the results and proposed conducting more studies, and researches in light of the resultes reached.(Published Abstract)
