This study aims to analyze, from the perspective of the history of curriculum, the theme "human body" in science textbooks. In order to fulfill this aim, the research source were five science textbooks from an author s collection, published from 1970 to the present decade. The contents regarding human body in those science textbooks have been investigated in order to understand tensions among different school aims as well as the processes of change and continuity along the period of the study. The investigation theoretical basis rests upon the history of curriculum and the history of the school subjects to focusing on patterns of stability and change in elementary the school science curriculum. The results revealed that the historical contexts of publication of didactic works influenced the way in which the human body was constructed in these books, generating discontinuities and ruptures in the traditions of representation, presentation and enunciation of the human body. Some aspects, however, have shown more stability than others, showing that curriculum building and school purposes do not go in a linear fashion, oscillating and stressing the academic, utilitarian and pedagogical purposes, sometimes within the same textbook. These tensions dispute curricular space in the curriculum materials.
