Abstract: 
The study aimed at investigating the effect of Infographic on fifth grade achievement , their attitudes and their motivation in science at Salfit district and the study tries to answer this main question in particularly :- what is the effect of Infographic on science achievement , motivations and attitudes of fifth grade students at Salfit district ? To answer study question and its hypothesis , the researcher used Quasi Experimental approach and applied the study on a sample of fifth grade . the sample was divided into two groups . The first group studied the content of plants unit by using Infographic and the other group was the adjustable sample which studied the unit by traditional approach .The study was for the second semester of the year (2014-2015) . The tools were applied on the study sample are the following : 1. Pretest and post test achievement test for evaluating students achievement after completing plants unit . test validity was checked by arbitrators . stability coefficient was calculated and its value is ( 0.68 ) . 2. Attitudes scale for evaluating students attitudes toward science before and after using the infographic . the test was checked by arbitrators and its validity was calculated and the value was (0.84 ). 3. Motivation scale for evaluating students motivation toward science . science before and after using the infographic . the test was checked by arbitrators and its validity was calculated and the value was ( 0.71 ) . Treated by SPSS for checking differences indicator at moderate achievement in the two groups , the adjusting and the experimental one . The results of the study were the following : 1. There are differences with statistical significance at significance level (0.05=α) moderate achievement of the fifth grade students who studied plants unit by infographic (experimental group) and fifth grade students who studied the same unit by the traditional approach (control group ) in the total score of achievement posttest for the benefit of the experimental group . 2. There are differences with statistical significance at significance level (0.05= α) the age of moderate attitudes students toward science of the fifth grade who studied plants unit by infographic (experimental group) and fifth grade students who studied the same unit by using the traditional approach (control group) by attitude scale for the benefit of the experimental group. 3. There are differences with statistical significance at significance level (0.05=α ) of moderate motivation scale toward science learning. In view of these results, the researcher recommends many recommendations and the most important are the preference of using infographic in learning method for all educational levels and the second recommendation is the necessity of implicating photos and graphics into the content of science books and convert data and information into visual photos such as infographic which make science course attractive and interesting . the third recommendation is providing teachers with training courses to help him in using computer in order to be able to design infographic . Another important recommendation is implicating technology approaches and make trainings help students to design infographic . The final researcher recommendation is communication and exchange information by infographic through sites and pages on the internet which makes students communicate out of the school .
