Abstract Creative thinking skills are high-level thinking skills that have a large impact on the progress of students in particular. The importance of creative thinking skills is a major concern for training it to students. This study aims to train students’ creative thinking skills on the material in cell metabolism by using modules based on stimulating higher order thinking skills (Stim-HOTs). This research uses quantitative descriptive methods. The instrument used was a creative thinking test instrument on cell metabolic material that had been integrated with aspects of creative thinking. The research subjects were 64 students of 12th grade high school in Surakarta including 32 control class students and 32 module class students. The results showed that the creative thinking skills of students who were trained using modules based on stimulating higher order thinking skills on metabolic material had increased. It showed in the eksperimen class, namely in the aspects of fluency 70,31, originality 71,48, and flexibility 62,5 are at the high category level.
