With the society's demands for talents with critical thinking, creative design ability, self-confidence and adaptive ability in the intelligent age, science education in primary and secondary schools has become the focus all over the world. However, in china there are very few scientific practice activities that can lead students to experience the real scientific research process, master the scientific research method, hone the scientific spirit, and feel science essence. In this paper, firstly, the development process of the essence of science was reviewed. Secondly, a new design of science education course in the intelligent age was proposed based on the practical experience of intelligent science and technology innovation education system of Qingdao Academy of Intelligent Industries. Thirdly, four suggestions on design of science courses were given and examples were shown based on the new design. The result showed that the courses can guide students to experience scientific research processes and to master scientific research methods from both ways of thinking and specific scientific methods. The core of this design is science education course should enable students to master scientific research methods, feel the essence of science, hone the spirit of science, and internalize scientific thinking through scientific practice course.
