The path analysis was applied to conceive the liaison between student’s interest, intrinsic motivation, and curiosity in Learning Science. The findings were indicated that the most of the initial students’ level of interest, intrinsic motivation, and curiosity in learning science positively in very high and high level. The relationship between interest, intrinsic motivation with curiosity toward science was acquired multiple R is 0,992. It shows a very strong level of relationship between students’ interest, intrinsic motivation, and curiosity. The linearity relationship between interest, intrinsic motivation and curiosity is the students' curiosity towards science lessons increased due to increased interest and intrinsic motivation.
