Abstract
The study aimed to investigate the impact of five-cycle learning (5 E’s) strategy on achievement and developing creative thinking skills in biology among tenth graders in al- karak governorate. The study sample consisted of (65) students who were randomly selected from mutah secondary School for Boys in al- karak governorate. The study sample was divided into two groups: an experimental group (32 students), taught using the five-cycle learning strategy, and the control group consisting of (33) students, studied using the traditional method. To achieve the objectives of the study, the researchers prepared the teacher and student guide according to the steps of the five-cycle learning strategy on the unit of viruses and viroids and prions , and an achievement test was developed consisting of (20) of multiple choice items, and a test for creative thinking skills consisting of (10) items. The results of the study indicated that there were statistically significant differences (α ≤ 05.0) between the mean scores of students in the post - achievement test and in the post - creative thinking test in favor of the experimental group. The study recommended training supervisors and teachers of scientific subjects on the five-cycle learning and in particular, biology’s teachers.

The current study presents a test to measure creative thinking skills in viruses and viroids and prions unit for the tenth grade, and this may help in construct other tests for multiple topics in biology
The study sample consisted of (59) students, who were divided into two groups: An experimental group, (30) students, and a control group (29) students from a school in Najran, Saudi Arabia, and the researcher prepared an achievement test consisting of (22) items .One of the research results was the superiority of the students of the experimental group who studied using the five-cycle www.iiste.org strategy over the control group. in achievement in the post-test, as well as in learning retention. (Al-Azmiya and Sherhid, 2015) conducted a study aimed at knowing the effect of using the five- cycle learning strategy in teaching a biology’s unit for the seventh grade in developing achievement and biological thinking among students in Abyan Governorate - the Yemeni Republic
Summary
Modern education has been interested in teaching thinking and refining its skills, so that the learner can implement the knowledge and information he obtains to achieve success he aspires to. The reason is that thinking is an indispensable need for peoples and societies; its value is no longer measured only by its natural resources, and by minds used to formulate and develop knowledge, and the extent to which it accepts the amazing technological and informational changes that are taking place. This necessitate preparation of individuals who can adapt to scientific developments, and this will only come through developing teaching strategies to develop students' thinking skills. The teacher reaches this stage by asking a question, an exciting event, defining a problem, or arranging a situation with the intent to attract students' attention to focus on the educational task, such as displaying a video clip, image, or a published piece of news
