description In this study, it is aimed to determine the metaphors and analogies in the 6th grade science textbook. The document analysis method, which is one of the qualitative research methods, was used in the research. The data related to the research consists of metaphors and analogies in the textbook taught in the 6th grade science course written between 2021-2022. In the analysis of the obtained data, the content analysis technique was used. The metaphors and analogies identified by the researchers in the aforementioned book were presented to 24 science teachers, who are experts in the field via the internet, and the reliability percentage was calculated as a result of their opinions, and the reliability rate was calculated as 70.416%. In this calculation, Miles and Huberman's (1994) reliability equation was used and the value was found to be reliable according to this equation. As a result, it has been determined that metaphors and analogies are used very little in the mentioned book.
