In order to verify these hypotheses the experiment starts in the first academic term during the academic year 2022-2023. The experimental design for two equivalent groups which are experimental and control groups is chosen. The study is limited to fifth literary grade students who are studying at Khalid Ibn Alwaleed Preparatory School in Salahalden governorate. The sample is selected intentionally so, section A will be the experimental group and consists of 28 students and section B will be the controlling group and consists of 27 students . The total sample is 55 students. Two groups are equivalent according to the following variables: intelligence quotient, students' age, academic achievement for parents, pre-post analytical thinking test, scores of previous schooling year. It is found that there is no statistical significant difference between the mean scores of experimental and control groups at 0.05 level of significance. The researcher formulates 79 behavioral objectives and constructs 14 lesson plans .
