In this study, an instructional material for enriched book (en-book), relating to "Interactions between Chemical Types" unit in the ninth grade chemistry curriculum was developed. For purpose, effect of (en-book) on pupils’ achievement, attitude towards and technology, motivation were investigated. a quasi-experimental research design, pre post-test experimental group model, used. The conducted with 226 pupils, 112 them as control 114 group, attending four different classes two high schools which pilot study called FATIH (Movement Increase Opportunities Technology). project implemented, Hatay spring semester 2014-2015 school year. Random cluster sampling method used select sample groups. Lectures carried out by traditional methods mostly using board, course books etc. en-book group. data analyzed SPSS (version 22.0). Descriptive analysis, independent groups’ t-test, Analysis Covariance (ANCOVA) Multivariate (MANCOVA) performed analyze data. According results, there has been significant both groups academic achievement mean scores favour (p=.000). Post-test from Chemistry Attitude Scale (CAS) demonsrated that (p=.001) positively contributed pupils motivation. results also showed no statisticaly difference experiment technology (p>0.05).
