The present study aims at acquainting the reader with the effectiveness of a suggested brain-based teaching model on the acquisition of concepts within physics and on the development of students' attitudes toward physics and the maintenance of the effect of their learning. The investigator has used the teacher's guide and the activity notebook of the students as tools of the study. The unit of "Work and Energy" has been especially selected to be taught to the students (the sample of the study). The unit has been taught to the experimental group in the light of the teaching model proposed by the researcher. The measurement tools have been designed to test the concepts of physics under study and to measure the attitudes towards physics. Sixty high school students have been randomly selected from one of the schools at the New Minia region. The 66 students have been randomly divided into two equal groups to represent both the control and the experimental groups of the study. The teaching model designed and adopted by the researcher has been of a great support to help 1st year high school students: acquire the required concepts of physics under investigation particularly included in the unit of "Work & Energy", and to maintain the learning effect of these concepts. develop the attitudes towards physics with respect to enjoying learning physics, the attitudes toward the teachers of physics, and the study of physics as a significant subject.
