The questionnaire was used as a research tool. It consisted of 25 5-point Likert type items. Items were, after application of factor analysis, divided into four categories: 1. The interest in chemistry, 2. The relevance of chemistry, 3. The future life and chemistry, 4. Chemical aids and laboratory experiments.

Statistically significant differences between boys and girls and also between 8th and 9th graders were not found out.
