This paper presents how Swedish secondary student’s science capital is coupled with science identity. The data is part of a large international research study called The Relevance of Science Education Second (ROSES) which aims to explore students’ interest in, and motivation to learn, science and technology. The result identifies five science identities having different correlations with five factors of science capital. The study if framed by the theoretical development of an extended bourdieusian notion of capital together with science identity.
