The purpose of this study is to analyze the curriculum alignment of ‘cell and continuity of life’ unit in Life Science I. It is not easy to estimate the consistent degree among planned, implemented and assessed curriculum. In these reasons the consistent degree among teachers’ planned, implemented, and assessed and between students’ implemented and assessed were analyzes with ‘cell and continuity of life’ unit. For this, the subjects for this study consisted of 29 teachers and 341 students. The objectives of each subject for ‘cell and continuity of life’ units were categorized, based on Bloom’s 6 types of cognition levels. And the result reveals the curriculum alignment by Porter’s alignment index and contents map. The result is follows : First, students’ implemented . students’ assessed curriculum alignment index is the highest, and teacher’s implemented - student``s implemented curriculum alignment index is the lowest. But curriculum alignment index appears higher than previous studies. Second, teachers’ and students’ curriculums are mainly required low-level cognitive process, such as ‘understand’. Therefore it is necessary to analyze the reason why students show low achievement despite a relatively high degree of curriculum alignment.
