Popis: Science, as a subject is universal and knows no boundaries. The claims of Science for inclusion in the school curriculum came to be recognized after years of active and persistent efforts. Many students find science extremely inspiring and interesting, however when amply motivated. Pre-test and post-test experimental research design, was adopted for the study. A sample of 219, 8th class students (169 female, 50 male students) from six Ashram high schools of Warangal district was selected. Students' Motivation Towards Science Learning (SMTSL) (Tuan et al. [1]) scale was adopted in this study. The sum of SMTSL hiked to 87.38% from 73.28% in post-test. This increase was attributed to the intervention through tutoring students with video lessons and evaluating with quizzes before and after screening video lessons. The variable Performance goal, contributed to the maximum (33.62%). A shift in students from moderately motivated category to highly motivated category was also found in post intervention situation.
