At present, with the increasing development of science and technology as well as the rapid growth of knowledge, the trend of course construction has become highly divided and integrated and some new social problems also come into the fore. Facing these complex social problems, we should solve them by comprehensively utilizing natural science, the humanities and the social sciences .Besides, more and more comprehensive talents are greatly needed by society. Therefore countries across the world all have conducted the thorough research on the theory of synthesis curriculum and probed continually into its practice. Although there is a short history in China synthesis curriculum, presently various forms of synthesis curriculum also developed gradually. With all their various form, most of synthesis curriculums are pieced together, the real integrated synthesis curriculum is rare to see. In addition, it seems that there is no direct link between synthesis curriculum and the college entrance examination although the form can cultivate the overall quality of students foster their creativity and develop their radiative thinking, which is very helpful to the latter. However, the development of synthesis curriculum didn′t go off smoothly. We met many problems in the process of curriculum construction. Such as the development of teaching material, the training of teachers as well as the contradiction between the implementation of curriculum and college entrance entrance examination. Guided by the theory of modern curriculum combined with the current situation of elementary education in our country, this research aim to analysis and expound some problem exist in the subjects of high school.There are mainly some following problems. First, it′s the development of teaching material. As teaching material is a textbook for teaching, a model for study and chief source for test, we should first of all design the textbook suitable for student if we want to develop synthesis science curriculum. Therefore, beginning with developing the fused synthesis biological subject, integrating physics, chemistry, geography and so on, this research presents students with the comprehensive science subjects knowledge through lectures. Second, it′s the problem implementation. We should choose a special course for teaching form the synthesis science subjects teaching material. From teaching design to actual teaching, we carry on the practice by case study and finally we analyze the teaching effect. Though the above practices, we find presently there are some problems in the development of synthesis curriculum. That is there exists contravention between the training of comprehensive talents and the pattern of college entrance examination, between the teaching of being divided into separate fields and the synthesis test as well as the training of teacher.The key of education reform lie in the reform of curriculum. With the advancement of curriculum reform, the new task is how to design and implement synthesis curriculum, witch needs to be solved at present.
