The purposes of this study are to create a natural science subject for elementary school and to make a model of cultural and character education on the basis of integrated oral tradition. In relation tho these, this paper will discuss two issues: firstly, what kinds of oral traditions that contain of character education to be developed as natural science material for elementery school grade 4; second, to find out whether or not the draft of textbook will be sufficient for texbook. To solve these problems, literature reviews from eigh libraries in Bali have bee done. Besides, we have carried out a fieldwork, indepth interview as well as focus group discussion. The evaluation of the texbook draft has been performed by teachers of elementery school grade 4. The result is that there are many oral tradition in Bali that could be integrated into natural science material. The texbook draft is qualified for an alternate texbook.
