The purpose of this study was to survey and analysis of in-service science teachers' experience and demand about internal and external format of science textbook. For the study, questionnaire was developed, then the questionnaires were collected from 144 middle school science teachers. The frequency analysis in each question were conducted to find teachers' experience and demand. The result indicated that the teachers would favor external format rather than internal format as selecting textbook generally. And the teachers would favor that 1) the formation in the next textbook was to arrange of main concepts and the sum-up style in textbook from a point of students' view, 2) the main concepts in the textbook system which the students should learn was to grasp easily to them, and 3) the total pages and size in next textbook were expanded for kind and detail explanation for main concepts, but the total of main concepts was to maintain.
