Abstract

The goal of current research to measure the effectiveness of using Cooperative Inquiry in developing thinking skills in chemistry among secondary school students., in order to achieve this goal were select unit "solutes , acids and bases" from the  book of chemistry for  secondary  students, the research applied on the unit of the second semester on 2016/2017. In the light of what has already been preparing the teacher's guide and the student activity booklet to teach the unit of "solution, acids and bases" from the chemistry course for the first grade using the Cooperative Inquiry and the test of thinking skills. The participants in this study involved the 1st grade(74) girls, randomized into 2 groups: experimental group (N=37 girls) of class (1/3) in modern secondary school girls studied unit "solutes , acids and bases" using Cooperative Inquiry, and control group(N=37 girls) of class(1/2) Hussein Hammad girls secondary school studied unit "solutes , acids and bases" in the  traditional method, the thinking skills test were administrated before and after teaching the unit and the result of the research showed there are signicant differences between the average grades of the experimental group and grades of control group in the post application to the thinking skills test for the  experimental group.
