They were divided into two experimental groups of (30) students they were taught using virtual laboratory applications, and the number of (30) students they were taught using the traditional method. The research was based on a test of achievement test in scientific experiments as research tools. The research used the t-test to calculate the difference between the experimental and control groups, there are statistically significant differences at the level of significance (0.05) between the mean scores of the students of the experimental group were taught using virtual laboratory applications and the students of the control group were taught using traditional method, in the post achievement test for experimental group using (virtual laboratory).
