Abstract: The main aim of this study was to observe the effect of activity on science comprehension skills among 8th graders. Relevant literature revealed that science comprehension skills can be increased through activity. QuasiExperimental (QE) design had been used. Threats to internal/external validity were undertaken properly. Two groups were selected to collect data to achieve the above-stated aim. The test was developed as per the table of specifications. It was piloted. Then it was administered as a pretest before intervention and posttest after the intervention. The data were analyzed using t-statistics. The activity is recommended for teaching science comprehension skills.
