Abstract
This Research aimed to identify the effectiveness Proposed Thinking Activities based on Fusion thinking skills approach in the Chemistry Curriculum Content in developing Organizing and Analyzing Chemical information and the tendency towards active thinking for first secondary students. To achieve that, Thinking Activities based on Fusion thinking skills approach in the Curriculum content of Chemistry were prepared,The sample of the Research consisted of group of first secondary student studied Thinking Activities based on Fusion thinking skills approach in the Curriculum content of Chemistry, then the results of the group research were compared through the data that was obtained from the application Organizing and Analyzing Chemical information test and the tendency towards active thinking scale in the pre- and the post applications.
The results of the Research were as follows:
1-  There are statistically significant differences at level (0.05), between the average of the degrees of individuals research group in the pre- and the post applications, for Organizing and Analyzing Chemical information test as a whole, in favor of the the post application. 

2- There are statistically significant differences at level (0.05), between the average of the degrees of individuals research group in the pre- and the post applications, for the tendency towards active thinking scale, in favor of the the post application.
