Introducing scientific techniques to children at a young age is so important, yet science is something that may be alien to many pupils. By using something that children are already familiar with, you can help them to better understand concepts and procedures, while making it fun!

Through the use of the book George's Marvellous Medicine by Roald Dahl, primary school students can start to explore science through simple activities, teaching them about the way science has shaped our world. This will help children to understand the nature, processes and methods of science, in line with the National Curriculum.
