Instrument to invent science attitude consists of four domains as `Scientific Inquiry`, `Importance of Contribution to Science`, `Normality of Scientist`, and `Social Value of Science`. Inventory instrument have 20 items(Likert scale of 1 to 5). Subjects are 70 middle school, 72 high school, and 95 university students. There is no significant difference among students by school, but the attitude level toward science of female students is lower than that of male students. `Importance of Contribution to Science` among four domains has the highest score of attitude toward science, whereas `Normality of Scientist` has the lowest attitude score toward science. To bring up scientific abilities of students, we conclude that it needs the educational plan to increase science attitude of students, through improving and developing curricular system and science curriculum for the secondary school and university.
