The title of this study is “ Analysis of the Science Textbooks of the Elementary Classrooms in Light of Sequence Matrix “ This study aims to identify the extent of achieving sequence matrix in science textbooks for the primary grades and the extent of sequence matrix application in science content of first grades in the primary stage in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

In light of the study objectives, the researcher used descriptive analytical methodology through the use of content analysis method and for that, she prepared a content analysis card to analyze the science textbooks for the first grades in light of sequence matrix.

This card included four key areas: science as a method of inquiry and experimentation, biology, geology and natural sciences.

56 skills fall under these standards.

Its validity and reliability was verified.

The researcher used these standards to analyze science textbooks for the first, second and third grades.

Statistical methods, frequencies and percentages were used to analyze the results of the study.

The results of the study showed that the availability of science standards as a method of inquiry and experimentation that the content of science textbooks for the primary classrooms in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia highly applied the sequence matrix in the field of science as a method of inquiry and experimentation with a high degree amounted 39.58% and its availability in science textbooks for the first, second and third grades were (45.25%, 46.73%, 31.33%) respectively.

Its appearance in natural sciences area came in the second rank and applied the sequence matrix and the ranking skills with a medium degree with a percentage of 24.65% from the total amount of science textbooks indicators for the three grades.

The percentage of its appearance in science textbooks for the first, second and third primary grades was ( 24.56% ,21.52% , 26.82%) respectively.

The availability of standards in biology and geology areas applied the sequence matrix and the ranking skills at a low degree ( 18.43% ,17.32%) respectively.

The area of biology appeared in science textbooks for the three first grades with the following rates (20.33%, 14.23%, 20.25%), and the rates of geology area appearance in science textbooks for the three first grades were ( 9.91% , 17.5%,21%).

In light of these results, the researcher presented a number of recommendations she hopes to contribute in developing the content of science textbooks for the first three elementary grades in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia .
