Abstract In this study, we analyzed the entries of the chemical section of the National Science Fair as an example of the implementation of science education courses to confirm the link between the planned curriculum and the curriculum of students conducted in the form of scientific inquiry. The analysis criteria set whether or not to include concepts of national curriculum of the student research, research motivation and subject, detailed academic field, and classified the work by two researchers majored in chemistry. The analysis showed that the distribution of the academic field of the elements of the curriculum was similar to that of the academic field of the entries, so it was estimated that the curriculum's content affected students' selection of research subjects. In addition, 11.9 percent of the cases derived research subjects from the content of the curriculum, and 52.7 percent of cases conducted only with concepts within the curriculum, which did not meet the criteria for the goal of the national curriculum. Therefore, two points were proposed to strengthen the link between student scientific exploration activities and planning national education courses.
