Indonesia has been implementing a basically competencybased curriculum which provides a large room for local potentials to be incorporated into the curriculum. This paper aims at describing the process of developing and implementing local content-based science curriculum, by using the case of the embedment of salakpondoh into the Islamic middle school science curriculum. The development of the curriculum followed the 4-D model of the research based development, i.e. Define, Design, Development, and Disseminate. The Define phase was conducted through a thorough analysis of the national curriculum, local potentials as well as the characteristics of students and school environment. The Design phase was characterized by the development of the prototype of the curriculum. The prototype of the curriculum was then reviewed by 6 middle school science teachers from 3 types of middle schools in the district. The revised version of the curriculum was then implemented in the Public Madrasah Tsanawiyah(PMTs) of Pakem, Sleman, Yogyakarta. The result of this study shows that the prototype of the curriculum was given a good score by the teachers. It also was implemented in the PMTsand can increase the learning outcome of students well and also improve the cooperative skills.   Keywords - local content, salakpondoh, science curriculum, learning model, prototype, research and development
