Contextualising science in a story that pupils know and love, the book contains a wide range of activities and investigations to help Key Stage 1 pupils engage in science learning, while also extending aspects of the English national curriculum.

  • the relevant scientific context alongside a link to one of nine exciting children's stories;
  • clever and unique suggestions to 'storify the science';

  • instructions for teachers to give to their pupils;
  • tips on how to deliver the lesson in an immersive way;
  • guidance on assessing pupils' level of understanding.

  Science Fiction, Science Fact! Ages 5-7 is packed full of ideas for weaving science into cross-curricular lessons, and is an invigorating and essential resource for Key Stage 1 teachers and science co-ordinators seeking to inject some creativity into their science lessons.
