The results of the (T-test) showed statistically significant differences between mean difference of students grades on the scale of the seven kinds of multiple intelligences in pre and post applications. These results are attributed to the use of Educational curriculum strategies. Thus, the first hypothesis was rejected. The same is with the second one for all seven kinds of intelligence forms of males and females separately, except for motion intelligence of women, thus realizing the second hypothesis. As for the third hypothesis, the results varied according to each type of intelligence and according to sex. It was rejected in rhythmic and motion intelligence with a bias towards males.
