Educators and educators face problems related to how to prepare future generations in a way that qualifies them to deal with the realities of science and related technologies to meet the challenges of this era. Hence the urgent need to pay attention to teaching science and to continue to develop various methods and methods in its education, so that the student benefits from knowledge experiences and employs them in his life. Through the researcher’s experience in teaching chemistry and through her discussion by a number of chemistry teachers for the fourth scientific grade, he found that there is difficulty in learning chemical concepts by students and their dependence on deaf memorization of the material and thus not keeping what they learned from chemical concepts. Which leads to a weakness in their academic achievement and a failure to establish chemical concepts in their minds, and consequently a weakness in their academic achievement. The researcher also noted that the shortage in laboratories and their unpreparedness of laboratory materials and tools to support chemical concepts made the student memorize chemistry and consider that the smart student is the one who memorizes the material and answers the exam questions regardless of the individual differences between students and the variation in their intelligence.
