This study has been done to compare the achievement level of grade 8 students in science between Bangladesh and Japan. A part of TIMSS 2003 has been done through the present study. 25 attitude based questions and 12 knowledge based questions have been used in this study. Data were collected from 203 students of which 103 are girl students from 4 secondary high schools. On the other hand, data of Japanese grade eight students were taken from the TIMSS 1999 report. In the result, attitude of Bangladeshi grade 8 students was more positive than Japanese grade 8 students. But the Japanese grade 8 students' performance is better in the achievement test. The performance of the Bangladeshi grade 8 girl students' is better than boy students, which is contradictory to the existing concept but it was proved that girl students have same ability as boy students to study science. Beside the comparison between Japan and Bangladesh, there is another comparison between the students of Dhaka and outside Dhaka has been done in this study. From the result we can say that in case of science education, still long way to go to eradicate difference of quality between urban and rural schools in Bangladesh.
