We have investigated how effectively the training of basic design can facilitate student's interest in the areas of science and mathematics. It has been pointed out for these several years that students in elementary and high school avoid scientific classes. We had tried to find new methods and materials which can induce a link between design, science and mathematics. We had model classes for students from an elementary school and students from a junior high school in order to examine the effect of training for basic design in mathematics and science. The results of the analyses on the student's answers suggest that the training of basic design, in particular observing natural objects, and drawing geometric shapes, may promote the motivation to learn mathematics and science for students in both elementary school and junior high school.
