%X The aim of this research is to develop a scale for determining the science-based entrepreneurship skills of middle school students. A total of 966 students from 6 different middle schools attending 8th-5th grades participated in this research. Data was obtained from the 5-point Likert type scale with 13 items. Factorial validity of science-based entrepreneurship scale was verified through both Promax rotation, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), Hierarchical Cluster Analysis (HCA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). In this context, standard deviation, item-total score correlations, arithmetic average were calculated for each item in the measurement tool. All the factors explained 55.34 % of the total variance. Cronbach¡¯s Alpha coefficients were calculated- for total scale .76. The four factors that resulted in the construct validity of the scale were named as ¡°Taking Risk¡±, ¡°The Need of Success¡±, "Teamwork", and ¡°Effective Communication¡±. Depending on these results, it can be said that studies examining in terms of various variables of middle school students' entrepreneurship skills can be conducted
