In this study, quasi-experimental methods were used. The number of participants is 72 elementary school students. They were divided into experimental (N=36) and controlled groups (N=36). The experimental group received experiment using integrated scientific imagination process into nature science course for 5 weeks. The instruments of this study included the scientific imagination test-verbal (SIT-Verbal; Wang, 2015). Analysis of Independent-Sample t test and Cohen's d were used to explore the students' scientific imagination about the instruction. The results indicated that the scientific imagination of students who accept scientific imagination into teaching is better than that of the students in the control group. It means that the incorporation of scientific imagination into teaching can significantly enhance the scientific imagination of elementary school students and does not affect the performance of students' learning science. The results for the future of science education into the imagination teaching has a positive feedback.
