This research was to 1) construct lesson plans based on STEAM Education integrated with visual thinking on the unit of the structure and development of flowering plants for Mathayomsuksa 5 students to meet the efficiency of 80/80, 2) compare students’ creative thinking before and after the intervention, 3) compare students’ learning achievement before and after the intervention, and 4) examine students’ satisfaction with the developed instructional management. The sample, obtained through cluster random sampling, consisted of 22 Mathayomsuksa 5 students at Nakeapittayakom School in the first semester of the 2025 academic year. The research instrument included 1) lesson plans, 2) a creative thinking test, 3) a learning achievement test, and 4) a satisfaction questionnaire. The statistic used tools for data analysis were percentages, means, standard deviations, and a t-test for dependent samples. The research findings were as follows: 1) The instructional management based on STEAM Education integrated with visual thinking on the unit of the structure and development of flowering plants achieved an efficiency of 81.16/84.14, which satisfied the established efficiency of 80/80. 2) The students’ creative thinking after the invention was higher than before the intervention at the .01 level of significance. 3) The students’ learning achievement after the intervention was higher than before the intervention at the .01 level of significance. 4) The students’ satisfaction with the developed instructional management was at a higher level, with a mean score of 4.70.
