The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of teaching on academic success and durability with memory-supporting strategies of the 6th class science course "Systems in our body". Nicel research has been used as a semi-experimental pattern. The research was conducted for six weeks with the participation of 93 (47 controls, 46 experiments) six-class students who are studying in four separate classes of a secondary school in the center of Kütahya during the 2018-2019 academic year. Themes are processed by the activities included in the curriculum in the control group, while the experiment group is processed by the activities in accordance with memory-supporting strategies. As a data collection tool in the research, a success test consisted of 25 already selected questions of the "Systems in Our Body" unit developed by the researchers was used. The success test has been applied three times to the control and experiment groups, including the pre-test, the final test and the durability test. The data obtained from the success test was analyzed by T-tests by performing visual analyses. The results of the analyses found that students in the experiment group had a significant increase in their achievements after activities aimed at memory-supporting strategies. Analysis found that memory-supporting strategies were more effective in terms of both academic success and the durability of the learned. The findings obtained at the end of the study were discussed and necessary recommendations were presented by comparing the results of similar studies in literature.
