[.] Since 1992, in Lithuania the program of natural science education is connected to the program of social education. Later the social component became-there dominant. In Russia (including Republic of Karelia) presently natural science education in primary schools remains pure natural. The purpose of research was to establish influence of an inadequate parity of social and natural science components in curriculums for a primary school and it's imbalance on attitudes to a subject of natural sciences. 1264 respondents participated in this research: 731 pupil of elementary schools in Lithuania and 533 in Karelia (Russian Federation). The data were collected by anonymous questioning the pupils, who graduated from elementary schools. It has been found, that 1) Majority of the pupils finishing a primary school, both in Lithuania, and in Karelia already has a negative attitude to a subject of natural sciences (in Lithuania Knowledge of the World). The attitude does not depend on a gender of pupils; 2) Active cognitive activity in the nearest natural environment significantly is applied during a primary education of Karelia, than Lithuania more often. In Lithuania activity of pupils of a primary school during excursions on the nature is not connected to cognitive activity more often; 3) An inadequate parity of social and natural science components in curriculums for a primary school and imbalance of components of social and natural-science components in primary education negatively' influences process of primary natural science education; 4) Results of the given research don't allow an occasion to assert, that imbalance of components of social and natural science components negatively influences attitudes of pupils of a primary school to a subject of natural sciences. The factors influencing formation of a uncooperative attitude of pupils to a subject of natural sciences remain not open.
