A science TV program was used as the material to analyze learner's logical thinking, especially seven hypothesis-identification scenes of it were chosen. Learners were ten boys of 5th grade in elementary school, who have learned through science TV programs for one consecutive year. After watching that TV program, these seven scenes were presented to each learner. Their explanation to the scenes and TV notes were analyzed for this study. The results are as the following; (1) Learners can easily understand the scene from the prior scene which has closely logical relation with it.
