Thirty pupils from fifth graders acted as one study group. The instruments of the study consisted of a test visual thinking one. Results confirmed the effectiveness of a suggested unit in biodiversity based on brain - based learning in developing some visual thinking skills ( shape recognition , shape analysis , identifying relations in the shape , recognizing and interpreting vagueness, inferring meanings) for fifth graders . The current study recommended implying the concepts related to biodiversity in the Science curricula in the different educational stages as well as adopting the brain – based theory and functionalizing this theory in organizing the content of the science curricula. Because of its impact on the development of visual thinking skills
