Description The paper focuses on how to promote deep understanding by investigating the students to question their conceptual ideas of how the challenge of Universe looks, and on how to correct these views. We present our experiences with new instructional unit developed for science students and our ideas for teacher professional development.The ability to ask and answer questions is central to teaching and learning. We have initiated excercises to stimulate students to ask question about presented Tziolkovsky illustrations. Questions were based on students own observations. We try to explore any relationship among creativity and persons asking questions skill. We used science illustrations for this purpose and standardised creativity test. We recorded their questions and responses about problem presented in the pictures. Our research indicates, that relationship among students creativity and his skill for question asking could be exists.
