This is a pre-test, post-test, experimental control group design study. It aims at finding out the effects of inquiry method of teaching versus traditional method in scientific attitude development of the students. Science students were the population of the study. 120 science students were selected through purposive sampling and were equally assigned to experimental group and control group on the basis of scores using the observation rating scale. Sample selection was based on matching, homogeneity and randomization. Each group comprised of 60 students. Both groups were given pre treatment of selected Biology topics. The control group was taught by traditional method and experimental group was taught by inquiry method.
