The research results found as the followings: The students who learned using an argument-based inquiry learning unit on human body systems and health issues had an average score on scientific reasoning ability. The experimental group had an average score of 7.48 from the full fifteen points, averaging 1.39, a mean of 49.87, which was higher than the pre-test mean score at a .05 level of significance. But not half the score.
