A total 47 10th-grade students participated in study. Group Assessment Logical Thinking, Attitude Toward Biology Scale, Human Circulatory System Concepts Test were administered determine students' ability, biology, achievement, respectively. Two-way Multivariate Analysis Variance (MANOVA) used analyze data. results revealed that although there no statistically significant mean difference between boys girls with respect concrete formal
