Interactive experiments serve as dynamic teaching tools that actively engage students, deepen their conceptual understanding, and promote the development of essential scientific skills and attitudes in the study of chemical reactions. This study examines the influence of interactive experiments on students' capacity for learning chemical reactions. Specifically, it aims to determine the pre-test and post-test scores of the participants in understanding chemical reactions, whether there is a significant difference, and their perceived laboratory skills and scientific attitudes after the interactive experiments. A quasi-experimental research design was employed, where statistical techniques were applied to assess differences between pre-test and post- test scores. Throughout the study, participants engaged actively in interactive experiments to improve their laboratory skills, foster scientific attitudes, and enhance their understanding of chemical reactions. The results indicated a significant gain in post-test scores compared to the pre-test scores, showing a substantial rise in students' conceptualization of chemical reactions. Additionally, the participants indicated increased confidence in their laboratory skills and a more positive scientific attitude due to hands-on experimentation. Overall, the study emphasizes the positive effect of interactive experiments on students' learning experience, promoting both skill acquisition and interest. It is recommended that chemistry teachers incorporate interactive experimental activities into their teaching methods to simplify complex concepts, enhance student engagement, and establish a more dynamic and efficient learning environment.
