Abstract
The study explored the use of animation in facilitating descriptive and procedural learning in a scientific instruction. Spatial ability was used as a variable to observe students' learning of different knowledge. Both quantitative and qualitative data were analyzed. It was found that the effects of animation were different among students with different spatial ability. Compared with the control group, students with high-spatial ability leaned better with animation in descriptive learning tasks, whereas, students with low-spatial ability learned better with still graphics in procedural learning tasks.
