The study was conducted in Iraq / University of Al-Qadisiyah, and aims to evaluate the physics book for the second intermediate class in the light of associative thinking skills, and to achieve it, the researchers reviewed the literature and previous studies related to associative thinking skills. Skills, which is the only classification of these skills. Then the researchers built a standard for associative thinking skills, which consists of three skills, and under each skill there are fifteen indicators, Then the researchers presented the criterion to a group of experts and arbitrators in the field of methods of teaching physics, methods of teaching life sciences, measurement, evaluation and educational psychology to verify the validity of the criterion and that its paragraphs match what was prepared for it. The researchers analyzed the content of the physics book for the second intermediate grade scheduled for the academic year (2020-2021) in light of the criterion, as the number of analyzed pages reached (80) pages, and the researchers adopted the idea unit as a unit of analysis, and the researchers By calculating the validity and reliability, as the researchers relied on the Holstey equation to calculate the reliability as a statistical method. In order to achieve the second goal in the model (Afaneh and Nashwan, 2016) for the second grade, the thinking and associative skills are averaged as required, and for the second grade, they reach the evaluation score of (75%). In light of the research results, the researcher came up with a set of effective: 1. Physics books for the intermediate stage include topics that include teaching students the skills of associative thinking and in the required form, taking into account the spoken percentages and methods of inclusion. 2. Work to establish training courses for physics teachers dealing with the latest global developments regarding strategies that develop associative thinking skills and use them to highlight the reciprocal relationship between employing these skills and solving the problems they face. The researchers suggested the following: Conducting studies to analyze the content of science books in the primary stage and physics books for the preparatory stage according to the skills of associative thinking.
