The research aims to examine the science curriculum implemented in 2018 in terms of the four basic elements of the curriculum. In line with this purpose, 2018 science curriculum were evaluated in terms of objectives, content, learning-teaching process and measurement-evaluation elements. In this qualitative study, document analysis was used as one of the data collection methods. The data obtained in line with the research questions were presented under the themes of objectives, content, learning-teaching process and measurement-evaluation, which are the basic elements of curricula. According to the results of the study, it can be said that the 2018 curriculum is similar in approach to the previous curriculum. It is seen that the innovative thinking skill, which was not included in the old curriculums, is included in the 2018 curriculum. In the 2018 science curriculum, there were no examples of activities and explanations were given for some learning outcomes, while no explanation was given for others. It was observed that the 2018 curriculum was weaker than the previous curriculum in terms of measurement-evaluation dimension. It can be stated that the previous curriculum had a richer and more useful content for teachers.
