This research interested to measure: "Using Electronic Mind Maps in Learning Physics and its Effect on Development Spatial Ability and Scientific Interest of First Grade at Secondary School Students". Research sample involved (105) students at two Secondary school at Assiut city in Egypt (during second session 2014/2015), they were selected randomly. The sample consists of three groups, two of them experimental and third one was control (each group consisted of 35 students). The two experimental groups studied by using electronic mind maps style, while the control group studied by using traditional method of teaching. Research tools were: a spatial ability test, and a scientific interest scale, both of them prepared by the researcher, those applied before and after doing research experiment. Most significant results of this research were: 1) Significant differences between the two experimental groups and the control group in both of spatial ability test, and a scientific interest scale of selected science subjects for the benefit of experimental group’ students on "T" test at a level of (0.01). 2) Significant differences between pre-post applying of spatial ability test and a scientific interest scale for the benefit of the post applying the test and scale at a level of (0.01).
