This research aims at the impact of the visual teaching strategy on the achievement in Biology and developing the scientific processes of the first – year secondary female students through proving the following two hypotheses: 1) There is no difference in the statistical sign at the sign level (0.05) between the average of female students' achievement marks in the experimental group and the average of the female students' achievement marks in the control group. 2) There is no difference in the statistical sign at the sign level (0.05) between the average of the pre-test, and post-test. Of the scientific processes of the female in the experimental group and average of the pre-test , and post-test of the scientific processes of the female students in the control group. Al-Aamal secondary school in Baquba has been chosen intentially as the experiment field. The research sample consist of (70) female students from the first – year secondary school who are divided in to two equal groups. Then the equivalence was found. Then the experiment is applied from 8-10-2012 to 23-12-2012. The researcher has prepared two tests the first one is an achievement post-test which consist (40) items from the type of multiple – choice test , and the second is the scientific processes test which consist the eighth Basic scientific processes , for this there are (24) items . After the statistical Analysis was found, the achievement test reliability has been found by using half – split method, and the scientific processes reliability has been found by using alfa Cronbach, formula. The results have been analyzed which show the female students excellence in the experimental group more than the female students in the control group in each of achievement and scientific processes. The researcher submitted a number of conclusions, recommendations and suggestions. (Published Abstract)
