Game-based learning is applicable in the field of Science, specifically in projectile motion, where students incorporate games and experience active learning that applies real- world applications. This quantitative-qualitative study aimed to determine the effectiveness of game-based learning in Grade 9 regular class at Sudtonggan National High School, Lapu-Lapu City Cebu, for the academic year 2023-2024 to propose game-based learning as a strategy in teaching projectile motion. The study participants were 33 students chosen based on the complete enumeration method. The result showed that the participant's test scores significantly showed a relationship between the post-test (after exposure) and the level of acceptability. Furthermore, the study also found that the student has very positive views on the Attainment of Objectives and Delivery of Instructions. Therefore, based on the findings, game-based learning is positively accepted by the students in teaching as they can learn more effectively by incorporating games into the discussion and applying their deep understanding of the topic to reality. The student's satisfaction with game-based learning influenced how they visualized the real-life application of the topic. In conclusion, game-based learning effectively teaches projectile motion based on the participant's test scores and experience. The researchers recommend game-based learning as an effective teaching strategy for teaching students. The students, particularly in regular classes, can utilize game-based learning with complex topics. Moreover, despite its limitations, the school can offer Game-based learning.
