The purpose of this research is to investigate and cross-refer the effect on gender and eighth graders’ learning achievement, science process skill, and learning motivation when scientific writing integrated with 5E learning cycle teaching model was employed in science classes. This research was conducted under unequal group pretest-posttest design of quasi-experimental methodology. The researchers designed a series of teaching activities specifically for the course of mechanics. Participants were students from three eighth grade classes and divided into two experimental groups and one control group. One experimental group (N=32) was subjected to scientific writing integrated with 5E learning cycle teaching model, while the other one (N=33) was performed with 5E learning cycle teaching model directly, and students were taught by the lecture method in control group (N=30). The quantitative data were harvested from the analysis of pre-test and post-test of learning achievement test designed by the researchers, the test of integrated science process skills (TIPS II) (Burns, Wise, &; Okey, 1983), and the questionnaire of students’ motivation toward science learning (Tuan, Chin, &; Shieh, 2005). Moreover, ANCONA and descriptive statistics were included in quantitative data analysis, and qualitative materials included students’ worksheets, classroom observations, and semi-structured interviews. The result of the research revealed that implementing scientific writing integrated with 5E learning cycle teaching model in science classes can enhance students’ learning achievement, science process skill, and learning motivation. The one way analysis of covariance indicated the statistically significant differences (p
