The purpose of this study was to obtain new data for science education by comparing scientificresearch and analysis ability of two different groups of elementary school students; one consisted ofgifted children and the other of children of general ability. Two groups of 6th graders were used forthis study: one consisted of 20 students from a class of gifted students in science and the other 30 stu-dents from a regular class. Each group carried out experiments individually to find the causes thataffect a pendulum’s cycle. In this research, we were gauged children’s research ability in the follow-ing four areas “strategies in confirming prediction”, “variable controlling”, “evidence evaluation”, and“drawing conclusions". It was discovered that the scientific research and analysis ability of science-gifted children is much higher than of regular students, and this appears to be characteristic of a spe-cific group of gifted students. We also found that there were a number of students with predominantlyhigh research ability in the regular students group and that 13% of the science-gifted students showscientific research ability equal to the average score of the regular students.
