Science education plays an important role in cultivating children’s innovative ability and inquiring thinking. It is found that science education is helpful in improving children’s learning quality and promoting the formation and development of children’s innovative personalities. This paper selects 13 cities in Yunnan Province, Sichuan Province, Shaanxi Province, Gansu Province and Qinghai Province to investigate and study the current situation of science education in western China through questionnaires, interviews and field investigations, and finds that there are problems in science education in western China, such as insufficient facilities and materials, lack of scientific literacy of educational subjects, and dislocation of scientific education concepts. Based on this, the paper proposes three aspects to promote the development of science education in western China: strengthening publicity efforts to raise social awareness, increasing resource investment to provide backup support, and improving the teacher training system to build a collaborative education platform for home, school, and society. It aims to provide a certain reference for the long-term development of science education in western China.
