Individuals have different structures and qualities in terms of their characters and personalities. In the educational environment, each individual’s learning fields are different. In parallel with this situation, the theory of Multiple Intelligence has taken its place in educational environments with the work of Howard Gardner. This theory covers eight fields of intelligence. The purpose of this study is to do the analysis by criterion of the Multiple Intelligence Theory of the 6th Class Science Curriculum. In research, the quality research method was used. To collect data, researchers have used a criteria table set according to the characteristics of multi-intelligence theory. In the creation of this table, the necessary sources have been studied by containing the characteristics of the multi-intelligence theory and fields of intelligence in the literature related to the subject. The research document examination method is used to analyze the data. The Science Curriculum of the 6th class used in the 2019-2020 educational year has formed the work group of the study. In the analysis of the data, the frequency values of the topics are taken into account. The research finds that visuals include all the fields of intelligence, except the musical-ritmic intelligence field in terms of intelligence. While the topics related to the field of physical and kinesthetic and visual-universal intelligence are defined as the most, it has been shown to follow the emphasis of the field of mathematical and logical, verbal-language, natural, social-interpersonal, internal intelligence accordingly. This is 6. The class science teaching book structure states that it contains the most emphasis on the fields of visual space-universal intelligence and physical-kinesthetic intelligence. The researchers have also made suggestions on the subject. Abstract Individuals have different creation and qualities in terms of their characters and personalities. In educational environments, the learning areas of each individual are different. The Multiple Intelligence Theory proposed by Howard Gardner emerged in the direction of these ideas. It is an important theory involving the emphasis of eight types of intelligence. The aim of this study is to analyze the 6th grade science schoolbook in reference to multiple intelligence theory. In the study, the Qualitative Research Model was used. In the study, in order to collect data, the criteria list prepared by the researcher according to multiple intelligence theory characteristics was used. In the creation of this list, in the related literature multiple intelligence theory and providing information about the characteristics of each type of intelligence were analyzed. The research has document analysis feature and in this context the 6th grade science book used in the 2019-2020 academic year was came under the analysis. In the analysis of the data, the frequency values of the themes were taken into consideration. In the results of the research, it was determined that all the intelligence areas, except the musical-rhythmic intelligence field, were included in the visual fields in terms of intelligence fields. As a result of the research, it was defined that the themes related to kinesthetic and visual intelligence fields were the most, followed respectively by mathematical-logical intelligence, verbal-linguistic intelligence, naturalistic intelligence, interpersonal- social intelligence, intrapersonal intelligence. This situation indicates that the structure of the 6th grade science book contains the most emphasis on visual-spatial intelligence and kinesthetic intelligence. In addition, researchers recommend the subject as a study for courses at other educational levels.
