Abstract:
The objective of the current research is to build a Suggested Curriculum in the light of Next Generation of Science Standards (NGSS) for Developing Scientific Inquiry Skills for Preparatory School Students, to achieve this goal we prepare experimental treatment substance that include(Teacher's Guide, student activity sheets), and also the measuring tool  that include the test of scientific inquiry skills.
The research was followed by the analytical descriptive Curriculum, and experimental Curriculum: in its semi-experimental design with one group, the results showed that there was statistically significant difference at 0.05 level between the average scores of the students in the pre and post applications test of the skills of the scientific inquiry skills in favor of the high medium (post-implementation).
