Results of the study showed that:

• There was a significant statistical difference at level (α = 0.05) among the students' average mean scores of the experimental group in implementation of the direct and the deferred achievement test  in the favor of the deferred 
• Therefore, there is higher level effect of the electronic mind maps on the students' achievement and their motivation towards the science subject.
