The sample consisted of 46 prospective teachers studying in their second year in the department of classroom teaching in a state university in 2015-2016. The study was performed in a quasi-experiment pattern design including an experimental group and a control group. Simulation and animation based 5E model was applied to the experimental group while general methods according to the program were applied to the control group. The test of success in science and instructional materials motivation survey were performed to collect data. According to the results, there was a significant difference between the scores of science achievement and motivation in favor of the experimental group in terms of both post-test and retention scores. As for the highlights of the results could be argued that they make abstract concepts of sciences concrete, help students accurately picture and structure abstract concepts of sciences in their mind. In addition, simulation and animation, which are computer-based teaching methods, should be utilized to diversify education and training given how common distance learning is nowadays.}, number={2}, publisher={Soner Mehmet ÖZDEMİR}
