The present study aims at identifying the effect of using the Generative learning model in achievement and retaining the biological concepts for the first-grade intermediate female students. null hypothesis have been formulated for the purpose of achieving the aim of the study as followed: 1( There is no significant difference on (0,05) between the mean scores of the experimental group who taught according to the generative Learning model and the mean scores of the control group who taught according to the conventional method in the achievement of biological concebts . The present study is limited to the first-grade intermediate female students in one of the Al-karkh Education / second sector , the sample of the study has been chosen deliberately from Al-Shurouq Intermediate school for girls , two sections were selected randomly , the final number of the sample taken from the whole population after excluding some of the subjects is (49) , (24) of them are chose to be the experimental group who taught according to the Generative Learning model and (25) of them are chosen to be the control one who taught according to the conventional method . The two groups were equalized with some variables that might affect the independent variable (intelligence, pre-achievement in sciences at sixth grade, pre knowledge still under investigating), and the researcher chose the experimental design for that purpose. The researcher determined the material by the first four chapters from the first-grade biology textbook, 2nd e.d. (2010) which included (244) behavioral objects. The researcher made an achievement test consisted of (40) items of multiple choice with four alternatives according to a testing plan that measures the three levels of Bloom s (remembering, comprehension, application) and the face validity and the content validity of the test have been tested after exposing it to a jury of experts in the field of assessment and measurement, education and methods of teaching sciences. By using the (K.R.-20), the reliability of the test reached to (0,83). The researcher used the following statistical tools in data treatment : -Difficulty factor -Discrimination factor -False alternatives -Cooper equation -t-test The results showed that the achievement of the experimental group who taught according to the Generative Learning is higher than the achievement of the control one who taught according to the conventional method , so the hypothesis were rejected . In the light of the results, the researcher has recommended with some recommendations and suggestions that could be used by the teachers of sciences, biology and even those who are specialized in curriculum and methods of teaching sciences.
