This study is to analyze the contents of education for sustainable development according to the 2007 and 2009 revised elementary school science curriculum. To achieve this, analyses criteria were used based on those of the study by Oh, Yoon Jeong and Choi, Kyung Hee (2012). The results of this study showed as follows. First, compared to the contents of the 2007 revised elementary school science curriculum, those of the 2009 revised elementary school science curriculum were decreased. Second, the contents of education for sustainable development were excessively concentrated on the partial areas of science curriculum and analyses criteria. Third, the contents of education for sustainable development which were proposed in the elementary school science curriculum were mostly present in the single section as a single criterion. As the result of analyses, in order to systematize and develop the practical education for sustainable development suitable for elementary school science curriculum, this study suggests that the contents of education for sustainable development in the elementary school science curriculum need to be connected to the diverse areas in the science curriculum and several grades and specifically stated in the next curriculum revision.
