The results of the study indicated the following: There were statistically significant differences at ( α ≤ 0.05)between the mean scores of the experimental group and the control in the achievement test in favor of the experimental group.
There were statistically significant differences at ( α ≤ 0.05) between the mean scores of experimental and control group in the visual thinking skills test in favor of the experimental group.
 There was a statistically significant difference at ( α ≤ 0.05)between the correlation coefficients of the students in the achievement test and their scores in the visual thinking skills test of the experimental and control groups in favor of the experimental group.
