The research tools were also prepared, namely, an educational unit according to the method of guided discovery and testing of scientific concepts. The research population consisted of (7654) students from Jerash Education Directorate (7th grade) The sample consisted of (102) students divided into two groups (experimental, control), where the students of the experimental group, which numbered (52) students were taught according to the method of discovery oriented, While the students of the control group were taught according to the traditional teaching method, which reached (50) students, After applying the research tools, the researcher found a statistically significant difference between the average of the two groups (experimental and control) and for the benefit of the experimental group in acquiring the scientific concepts according to the trend towards science, The researcher did not find a statistically significant difference between the average members of the experimental group in acquiring scientific concepts due to gender.
