Background and Objectives:The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of implementing a creative experiment in teaching the topic of "Animal Diversity" on the learning and academic motivation of ninth grade students. The research method was a quasi-experimental design with two experimental and control groups. The statistical population included all ninth grade students of the first secondary schools in the 5th district of Tehran in the academic year 1403-1404. Methods: The study sample included 51 students who were selected through purposive sampling and randomly assigned to each of the two groups. The measurement tools of the variables were the researcher-made academic achievement test and the Harter standard academic motivation questionnaire. The validity of the researcher-made instrument was determined using the opinions of expert teachers and their reliability was determined using the test-retest method. The research method was based on comparative teaching between the experimental groups. In the experimental group, the topic in question was taught by designing and implementing a creative and interactive laboratory activity; while the control group received traditional lecture-based education. Findings: Data were collected through a researcher-made test of biological concepts and an academic motivation questionnaire and analyzed with statistical t-tests. The results showed that the mean scores of learning and academic motivation in the experimental group were significantly higher than the control group (p<0.05). Conclusion: The findings confirm that the use of creative experiments can deepen the learning of biological concepts and increase students' motivation to learn.
