In addition, experimental education activities play an important role on natural science education. The purpose of this research is to understand the attitude of elementary school''s students to scientific learning and experimental activities and their views to textbooks, teachers and teamwork, meanwhile discussing the variance on variable "gender" and "grade" backgrounds. This research uses questionnaire method, and the self-edited "questionnaire for the attitude of elementary school''s students to experimental activities and scientific learning" is the research tool. The samples were selected from 528 students in nine elementary schools in Taichung County. The analysis result is as follows: 1. The high-grade students in elementary school have positive attitude to experimental activities and scientific learning. 2. The scores from students in different genders to "the viewpoint to experimental procedures described in textbooks" have obvious differences. Girls prefer that textbook lists out the experimental procedures. 3. The fifth-grade students are obviously more positive to "attitude to scientific learning" and "attitude to experimental activities" than sixth-grade students. 4. The students more like experimental activities have more positive attitude to scientific learning. 5. Combining " the viewpoint to teamwork", "the viewpoints to have experimental class by nature science teacher" and "the viewpoint to experimental procedures described in textbooks" can forecast the attitude of students to experimental activities, which makes 29.9% of explanation. While "the attitude to experimental activities" can predict 43.3% of explanation to "the attitude to scientific learning". Finally, this research result can be the basis for suggestions on editing experimental courses, experimental teaching and future researches and the reference for improving scientific learning.
