Statistical population included elementary fourth grade students in Mashhad, that 44 of them were selected by cluster sampling method. Research tool for collecting  data was meta cognition knowledge Questionnaire with Chronbach's Alpha for pretest %69 and for posttest %79.
Results: Collected data have been analyzed by using descriptive statistical  and one-way and multivariate covariance. Findings showed that there were not differences between average of pretest in two control and experiment groups. But in posttest, the average of experiment group was more than that of control group and by controlling the pretest, no significant difference was observed between metacognitive knowledge among two experiment and control groups (p<0/001).
Conclusion: The results showed that the scientific inquiry method had effected in general on increasing students metacognition knowledge and also had increased its component including: person knowledge, task  knowledge and strategy knowledge (p<0/001).
