The use of ICT in education paved the way for online teaching. Though online teaching faces the challenge of engaging students, various strategies help to overcome it. The present study is a single group pre-test and post-test quasi-experiment that examines the effects of the interactive and gamified e-quizzes in teaching five human body systems, namely the digestive system, the excretory system, the respiratory system, and the male and female reproductive systems, in online science classes. In the study, thirty-two sixth-grade students participated in the classes and two gamification tools, Ecosystemforkids.com and Quizizz.com, were used. Both the tools helped to improve the performance of students. Interactive quizzes provided by Ecosystemforkids.com were found to be effective in remembering the names and understanding the functions of various organs, making it a valuable homework resource. Quizizz.com was found to be effective as a formative assessment tool as well as providing fun competition-based learning. Both tools had a positive impact on student performance.
