In this study, science textbooks developed under the 7th national curriculum were analyzed in the aspect of ICT applied education. In primary science textbooks, the ICT components such as internet address, retrieval tern, and activity were found to be rare. While the textbooks for 7th- and 8th-grades included more internet addresses, those for 9th- and 10th-grades included more retrieval terms. Many internet addresses were not linked (37.4%) or did not contain related informations (6.0%). Most were also introduced in appendix. High percentages of retrieval terms were presented as word, and their function was information retrieval related to main concepts. Activities were mainly for exploring information, and required to inquiry processes such as data interpretation and data transformation.
