Science literacy has needed to be developed by Education for Sustainable Development. However, Japanese society has faced to decrease in motivation for school study such as flight from science. To confirm this tendency and to investigate the relation between liking for science and that for learning electricity in a junior high school, we surveyed students' general awareness toward the subjects and liking for science areas in eight junior high schools in Yonezawa City, Yamagata Prefecture. The rate of students' liking for the school subjects has been decreasing with school grade. The 2nd and 3rd students who hate science became dislike science at the 2nd grade in a junior high school. More than 50% of science-disliking students described that the area of electricity was responsible for disliking science. Especially, female students tend to hate learning electricity more than male students. Learning the areas of electricity would be responsible for flight from science in junior high school students.
