Non-randomised pre-test-post-test control group experimental design was followed. Sample of 201 students was picked up for the study comprising of two groups viz. Control and experimental group. Tools used were: Scientific creativity test developed by S.K. Majumdar to assess Scientific Creativity, Raven’s Standard Progressive Matrices to assess Intelligence. Mean, SD, t-test, ANCOVA were used as statistical techniques. Results of the study revealed that Inductive Thinking Model was found to be effective in terms of achievement in scientific Creativity of class IX students.
