To figure out the present status of Korean middle school science curriculum in the national level is not an easy job, especially in the restricted condition such as this research project. Therefore, to achieve a meaningful result, the case study type of research was adopted. In the study five middle schools(2 boy`s and 3 girl`s) were selected and examined intensively. In this study, two major works were done. One was the analysis of the present middle school science curriculum and the other was to examine the current status of the administration of the curriculum in schools. This first study focused on the evaluation of the current Curriculum. According to the result, the objectives stated in the teachers guide and implied by the testbook were heavily concentrated on the knowledge level in Boom`s taxonomy. Achievement on the objectives which were selected as important were very low. The average pass rate for the selected objectives was less than 50% of the students. This means the content level of the present science curriculum is not appropriate. The study suggested that the present middle school science curriculum should be revised and the content should be replaced with easier topics to match the students cognitive level. The study also suggested further studies to measure the cognitive level of Korean students in national scale.
