In order to let learning a pleasure instead of a burden, the researcher wanted to test the effect of using one of these methods which is Role Playing method because researcher thought that it participates in explaining scientific information specially abstract scientific concepts & it gives guarantees that all students will participate in lesson directly or in directly, in addition to that it develops students attitude because learning becomes pleasure & art.

The sample of research was (57) students after exception of failed students &more absence students. Section (A) was chosen to be experimental group & (B) control group. Equivalence was made to both groups in (Chronic age in months, previous achievement in science &mathematics &intelligence). Research tools were achievement test consisted of (25) items of objective type &attitude scale consisted of (34) positive & negative items with (3) choices ( I agree, I am not sure , I do not agree) . Statistical tools were: (Equation of calculating variance, t-test for two independent samples, difficulty &discrimination coefficient, Pearson equation to calculate reliability of scale. The results of research were: 1- Excellence of experimental group which was taught by Role playing method in Achievement test. 2-- Excellence of experimental group which was taught by Role playing method in Attitude scale. The researcher suggested further recommendations &suggestions. (Published Abstract)
