This classroom-based action research aimed to improve the performance of the challenged learners in Physical Science. The combination of Strategic Intervention Material (SIM) with the aid of Google Classroom was employed as an innovation to help the respondents master the competency-based skills that they were not developed during regular classroom teaching. In a combination of qualitative and quantitative designs, this research employed observation and participation, survey, and content-based assessment as data-gathering instruments. There were 40 identified challenged learners selected purposively (10 students for each of the four sections) based on their achievement scores after the long quiz, who took part in the study. The quantitative data were processed through Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), while the obtained qualitative data were interpreted using the phenomenological methodology. Results revealed an increase in the performance level of the challenged learners based on the increase of the mean percentage score of the posttest. Additionally, it showed that SIM promotes learning retention based on their scores in the delayed-posttest, and Google classroom motivates their learning intention towards the subject, Physical Science.

Work collections are subjected to a renewal process, therefore a regular evaluation is needed inorder to appreciate the genetic advance of the existing variability at collection level and further to identify valuable genotypes in terms of morphoproductive and qualitative traits (protein, starch). The barley intended for brewing must correspond to some qualitative parameters, of which proteins and starch content are of major importance. For this purpose, a study was conducted to assess the variability and heritability indicators corresponding to the two traits at 48 barley genotypes. The genotypes that were the subject of this study were sown in three experimental years 2013, 2014 and 2016. The mean values of 2013 year was 13.71 compared with only 10.77, and 11.27 in 2014 and 2016. The significant value of the heritability coefficient along with the genetic advantage of 0.81 indicates the success of selection work for this important chemical trait.
