The paper aimed to analyze the content of the science book for the first stage of middle school based on standards of (STEAM). In order to achieve this objective, The researcher reviewed the studies that dealt with STEAM standards and prepared a list of STEAM standards, consisting of (5) fields and (50) standards, and presented them to a group of experts and specialists in teaching science and quality of education to express their opinions and observations. Consequently, the elements on the STEAM Standards List have been modified slightly. The analytical descriptive approach was used as a tool to analyze the content of the science book in light of STEAM standards. The study achieved the achievement of the STEAM standards in the content of the science book for the first middle in a very low percentage which was almost negligible. Results indicate that the STEAM standards should be included in the content of the first-middle science book for its integration of science, design, innovation, ability to work, and the generation of a generation capable of choosing the job that suits it in the future. STEAM provides meaningful learning experiences by linking education With daily life and the development of skills Meh labor market, such as the skill of problem-solving and critical thinking
