This study aimed to identify included productivity thinking skills in the develop science books for the basic school in Jordan, and to achieve the objectives of the study, the researcher used the descriptive and analytical approach to suit its objectives, the study tool consisted of a questionnaire prepared by the researcher to analyze the developed science books, it consisted of (29) paragraphs distributed on seven fields: originality paragraphs, fluency paragraphs, flexibility, conclusion, interpretation, expansion. The study sample consisted of science books developed for the basic stage for the 4th and 5th basic grades in their first experimental edition (2020-2021). The results showed that the frequencies and percentages of included productivity thinking skills in the develop science books for the 4th grade in Jordan indicates that the skill of flexibility was in the first place, while the skill of imagination was in the last place, and the results of the study also showed that the frequencies and percentages of included productivity thinking skills in the develop science books for the 5th grade in Jordan, indicating that the skill of deduction was in the first place, while the skill of expansion was in the last place. The results of the study also showed that there are statistically significant differences in the content of the developed science books for the fourth and fifth grades in Jordan, in favor of the fifth grade. The results of the study showed that there are statistically significant differences in the content of the science books developed for the fourth and fifth grades in Jordan, in favor of the fifth grade, due to the fact that students in the fifth grade are more aware and intellectually mature, being older, and have a rich information outcome compared to fourth graders, where they have good experience in science, so it was able to include the skills of thinking produced in the content of the science book for the fifth grade higher compared to considering the results, the study concluded with several recommendations, including: the necessity of enriching the 4th grade science curriculum for productivity thinking skills, especially the few available skills such as the skill of imagination, and the necessity of enriching the science curriculum for the 5th grade for productivity thinking skills, especially those with little availability such as the skill of expansion. The need to develop productive thinking skills in teaching science because of its great importance in the development and development of personality among students of the basic stage. Further studies and research are needed with regard to productive thinking skills and the extent to which they are included in science books developed for the core stage to learn about more future proposals.
