The measurement instrument was Torrance creativity test (form A).The synaptics teaching method was performed for experimental group by teaching experimental science, social science, and composition. The control group, however, did not receive any intervention .The results of covariance analysis indicated that there were significant differences between the mean scores of the experimental group and control group in the pre- test and post-test.
