        The purpose of the current research was to design a model for revising the experimental science curriculum of elementary school based on the deep learning of Fulen's perspective. The qualitative research method was based on Klein's model. The research community included reference texts in the field of identifying educational reforms needed to revise the curriculum of experimental sciences from 2010 to 2021. Based on this, 51 sources were studied and investigated with a purposeful selection method, and the sampling process was stopped based on theoretical saturation. In the next step, in order to verify the validity of the extracted components, the research community included specialists in the field of educational sciences with doctorate degrees in the fields of curriculum planning and elementary education. The study sample was 10 experts in the field of curriculum planning and elementary education in Isfahan city in 2020, who were selected purposefully. With Lavache's method, content validity ratio (CVR) was evaluated for each extracted component as well as each component of the model. The results showed that the model of revising the primary science curriculum based on Fulen's perspective with the aim of achieving deep learning and the partial goals of strengthening students' competencies, paying attention to the elements of educational design, modifying the conditions of education and facilitating the joint research process, has usefulness and implementation capability. Therefore, it is suggested to the officials of the Ministry of Education and Research to use the designed model in order to implement educational reforms Manuscript profile
