Keywords:Basic Earth Science, careful selection of contents, selective subject

Current basics subjects (2 credits) are subjects set based on mind of science for all, and the contents are veneer knowledge. However, it is thought that these basic subjects contribute to the improvement of good scientific literacy upbringing of the balance of the high school student's knowledge because a study rate of all subjects of four subjects of science rose because three subjects of science choice are required. In addition, it is realistic subject setting when based on the situation to teach the subject that does not match a specialty of a high school science teacher.However, as contents of basics subjects are broad and veneer and have not the learning a principle and structure, the memorized tendency of the item is deeply concerned. Based on this reflection, we want to propose a new Basic Earth Science including contents learning a principle and structure by the selection of contents of the current basics subject carefully.
