The article presents information about the study "Cultural Natural Science for the Junior High School" conducted by researcher Paul A. Maxwell to evaluate curriculum materials of general science for junior high school students in terms of their cultural values. The objective of the research was to formulate a list of approximately 100 topics from the field of science, each of which shall have high cultural value for junior high school students. Criteria for selecting themes to provide a preliminary list were formulated in order to insure that a proper range was covered and that qualities pertinent to the cultural emphasis were not overlooked. They were also formulated in order to ensure that each theme have a proper scope and that the wording should be such so that it suggests curriculum material.
