The brainstorm style applied to the experimental group and the command style to the control group. After finishing the application of the program, the two test were used, the data which following were processed by statistical materials. These statistical materials represented by (t) test for independent and equal samples. The researcher arrived at the following conclusion: The experimental group studied by the brainstorming style received higher than the control group studied by the command style. This was resulting from test of cognitive achievement in teaching method and developing scientific thinking. The researcher recommends using the brainstorming style rather than the command style, describing it as the better one to arrive at the teaching methods and developing scientific thinking.
