In this study, the Science Course "The Characteristics of Materials" unit determined the impact of game-based teaching on student success and the attitudes of students towards the post-learning Science course. The study included 62 students who studied in the 4th grade of a state primary school located within the limits of the 2019-2020 educational year, Manisa, Kula district. The study is a semi-experimental model with the control group with the pre-test - the final test, and the attitude scale of the course of science with the material's characteristics and conceptual information test as a data collection tool has been used. (Cronbach Alpha is 0.85 ) In the experimental group (N:21), the game-based learning technique prepared by the researcher and the game cards were applied in a supporting way to teach the subject. In the control group (N:41) the teaching method used the teaching method considered appropriate in the program was implemented in the framework of the Science and Science Teaching Program. As a result of the normal distribution of the data obtained after the application, it was checked with the Shapiro-Wilks Test. The scores that students obtain from the academic success test and the attitude scale were compared using the Related Examples Test, the Non-Related Examples Test, the Wilcoxon Test and the Mann-Whitney U Test. The impact size is calculated and the success levels of the groups are compared. According to the results of the analysis, the experiment and control group has determined that the students have a significant difference in the benefit of the experiment group between the final test points of the Substance Features Conceptual Information Test. Game-based teaching has been predicted to increase the student success on the Unit of Materials Features and to positively affect their attitudes towards the course of Science Sciences.
