The study was conducted at two public high schools in Majuro, the capital of the Marshall Islands. There were 128 students (37 male, 91 female), of which 67 were assigned as experimental groups and instructed by hands-on activities using the Kasetsu Jikken Jugyou approach, while the remaining 61 were assigned as control groups and instructed by the traditional method. For this investigation, the Students' Interest Questionnaire adapted from the Trends in the International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) was used to collect the data. For the students' achievement performance, Pre-test, Post-test, and students' reflection were given.   The data was analyzed using the Independent Sample t-test through SPSS. The results indicated a significant difference between the means of the students' science achievement in favor of the experimental group. This study's results are significant, especially to the Marshall Islands since the Public School System (PSS) cannot afford to provide expensive science equipment to make the students physically active and engaged in learning science.}, pages = {69--78}, title = {Developing Hands-on Activities Using the Kasetsu Jikken Jugyou Approach to Generate Interest and Improve Student Achievement in Sciences in the Marshall Islands}, volume = {14}, year = {2021} }
