This study aims to investigate the science teaching in the early years of elementary school, analyzing the curriculum modeled by teachers and instances of it being used, taking as reference the procedural approach of the Gimeno Sacristán curriculum. A qualitative research was conducted through analysis of official documents and materials produced by teachers and students of the 5th year of elementary school from two public schools in Araraquara, São Paulo State, Brazil. The documents analyzed were: the annual plan and weekly routines produced by teachers of one class at each school, the class plan of one student from each of the classes, and the textbook used in schools. These documents were compared with the curriculum requirements in Federal level − the National Curriculum Parameters of Natural Sciences for the Early Years − and State level − the Learning Expectations: Cycle I, from the State Department of Education. The annual plans, the weekly routines and the class plans enabled us to identify that teachers select part of the contents and the learning expectations within the official documents, with differences in teachers' choices in the two schools. In addition, through notes in the students' notebooks, we see that the textbook is used significantly, with almost complete reproduction of excerpts from the material. Still, the selected activities are those that prioritize conceptual contents, to the detriment of proposals with an investigative approach or of procedural and attitudinal contents covered by the books. The analysis of the results allows us to see the active and decisive role of the teachers in the implementation of content from textbooks, acting as translators of the given curriculum and the curriculum presented to them
