Surveys, one for 4th grade and one for 5th grade, were reviewed by the experts. The aim of the surveys was to investigate the suitability level among objectives in 4th and 5th grade science and technology, and mathematics curricula. The obtained data showed that associations in objectives between science and technology, and mathematics curricula were suitable; however, there were other objectives that could be integrated besides these associations.
