After review of literature it was found that no study has been done India on curriculum expectation. Therefore the researchers had tried to identify the educational goals, overall and specific curriculum expectations of physical science of WBBSE by using content analysis technique. It was found that the goals of physical science could be classified under three major themes which further defining three overall expectations for each unit. The specific expectations were again the reflection of the respective overall curriculum expectation. The identified goals of science, overall and specific curriculum expectations were discussed in details in this article.
