Purpose and/or Research Question - The purpose of this paper is to integrate the Scratchtopia programming into the Science experiment in an attempt to meet the needs of the Science curriculum, whereby students are given the opportunities to control over their learning in Science experiment. Methodology – A prototype called “Scratchtopia Challenge: From Science experiment to coding” has been designed and implemented among the students of upper primary school in Johor Bahru.. Findings – The study revealed the impacts of Scratchtopia programming towards students’ learning in Science experiment. Significance and Contribution in Line with Philosophy of LSM Journal - The impacts of Scratchtopia programming into science experiment were elaborated with illustration of exemplary prototype designed to provide students the opportunities to control over their learning in Science experiment.
