This article is about the study on 'Children's views of science' of Grades 5 and 8 students from Australia, China, Japan, Philippines, Thailand and the United States of America. The results show that with regards scientific method, students in Australia and the United States seem to value more the view of relativism than the traditional view on inductivism and deductivism. Japanese students seem to value relativism while in same cases also value inductivism and deductivism. Students from China, Philippines and Thailand seem to value STS with regards scientific progress and deductivism when it comes to scientific method. In general, students from Thailand seem to value all views, relativism, deductivism and STS. Based from the trends of responses, it can be concluded that Australia and USA are similar and Philippines and Thailand are also similar. Japan and China are quite distinct. This trend may be influenced by the national conditions or social needs for science education, educational system and policies, objective, curriculum content, method and strategies in science teaching in each country
