The finding of the study revealed that Experiential Learning enhanced the learning of the pupils and obtained a significant increased in the pupil's academic performance in Science IV. Based on the result of the study, it was concluded that Experiential Learning is effective method in teaching Science IV. The researcher recommends that Experiential Learning will be employed in teaching Science IV. It is further recommended that similar study will be conducted not only in Science but also to other subjects.
