Abstract

Abstact: The present study aimed to use activities based on Next Generation Science Standards" NGSS" to develop scientific and engineering practices, critical thinking in science and scientific interest among female primary school students in Saudi Arabia.The study used the one group pre test post test experimental design, including 20 students in primary sixth grade. The study provided the basis for the proposed activities and applied the scientific and engineering practices test, critical thinking in science test, and the scientific interest scale. The results indicated that there were significant differences at the level (α = 0.05) between the mean scores of the experimental group in the pre post test of the scientific and engineering practices in favor of post test, there were statistically significant differences at the level (α = 0.05) between the mean scores of the experimental group in the pre post test of critical thinking in science test in favor of post test, and there were statistically significant differences at the level (α = 0.05) between the mean scores of the experimental group in the pre post test of scientific interest scale in favor of the post test, also found posstive correlation between the scientific and engineering practices and of scientific interest.The results were discussed and the study presented recommendations and suggestions depending on the results.
