The results showed that the average science literacy achievement of prospective chemistry teacher on the competencies of science explain the phenomenon of 65, 60% with good criteria, evaluate and design a scientific investigation of 50, 64% with less criteria, and interpret data and scientific evidence of 42, 30% less criteria. So it can be concluded that the prospective chemistry teacher had a good science literacy on the competency explains the phenomenon of science, less on competency evaluating and designing scientific investigations in interpreting data and scientific evidence.
