A teacher’s attitude to creativity plays an essential role in the thinking development of hisher students. The purpose of this study is to understand if a science teacher&39;s personal creativity can modify hisher ability to produce various kinds of questions. This research used an education activity based on cosmic sketches and pictures by K.E. Tsiolkovsky, the founder of astronautics, to explore if any relationship between individual creativity and the asking questions skill exists. As a screening instrument, which allows an assessment of the respondent&39;s creative potential, a common test of creative thinking was used. The results of the creativity test and the diversity of the questions are mentioned.
