Abstract

The aim of the research is to determine The teaching impact of the matter chemistry by using the flipped classroom strategy through WhatsApp in developing the science processes skills for students of the first grade in secondary school, as well as revealing statistically significant differences between the mid-grades of students in the pre- measurement of experimental groups, and the control group  for all Skills of science operations.
To achieve the objectives of the research, the researcher used the semi-experimental approach, based on the design of equal groups through the testing of two groups (control and experimental) reached (66) students, the researcher used (6)  skills of science operations, a test specially developed to measure these skills, and two manuals one for the teacher and the other for the student
The research has reached a number of results, most notably:
-  The importance of arranging the skills of science operations among first-grade secondary students.
There is no statistically significant difference at the level of significance (0.05 ≥α), between the mid-grades of students in the pre- measurement of the experimental groups, and the control group for all skills of science operations.
The research also recommended a number of recommendations, including:
-  Urging teachers to discover the basic skills of teaching materials so that the teacher realizes the goal to be achieved from every scientific material he teaches, and can adapt the appropriate tools and means to enable him to achieve these goals.
-  to disseminate the evidence to the experiences of researchers and teachers who are trying to develop the educational process, and to study and experiment so that we can measure the real feasibility of it and develop it in order to serve the educational process.
