Abstract	The purpose of this study was to evaluate the Omani Science Curriculum (Cambridge) for grades 5 in Oman and to conduct a comprehensive analysis in line with the Omani Vision 2040. To address the research questions, a descriptive-analytical approach based on quantitative analysis was used. Two tools were used for the study: examining the content of the Omani science curricula and a questionnaire that was distributed to the relevant authorities, including supervisors and teachers. The study sample included 2,092 science teachers, 150 science supervisors, and science textbooks for grade 5. The results of the study are important because they provide insights into potential improvements to Omani science curricula. The results suggest that the curriculum should focus more on enhancing critical thinking and problem-solving skills. In addition, it should be updated to reflect the requirements and challenges of the twenty-first century. The findings also underscore the importance of crafting a curriculum that embraces inclusivity and provides strong support for diversity. Key findings of the study include: The curriculum is generally consistent with Vision 2040, but some areas need improvement. There is a need to intensify the focus on developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Curricula should be compatible with the needs and complexities of the twenty-first century. Specific recommendations for improving the curriculum are as follows: Review curriculum content: Introduce more content that encourages critical thinking and problem-solving skills. This can be achieved by incorporating hands-on activities and projects that require students to engage in critical thinking and address challenges through problem-solving.
