Therefore, it is necessary to consider the emotions experienced by secondary students in the learning of Physics and Chemistry, and their ability to learn content. The target of this research is to know the relationship between the emotions experienced by students toward the learning of Physics and Chemistry, and the ability to learn contents related to the matter, energy and electricity, and the structure and composition of the matter. The simple consists of 431 students from different schools of Badajoz. The results show that there is a positive and significant relationship between the frequency of positive emotions experienced by students and the ability to learn these contents.
