Science is often taught as a collection of facts and laws to memorise - with problems to solve and answers to get right. No surprise, then, that many children lose interest early.
But real science doesn’t start with answers. It is triggered by questions. Science becomes science only when we do it — when we observe, wonder, test ideas, get things wrong, rethink, and try again. This process is at the heart of scientific thinking.
And where do we see this process most clearly?
In the stories of discovery.
The lives of scientists — their doubts, dead ends, arguments, accidents, and breakthroughs — reveal the scientific method in action. When children travel these paths, they don’t just learn what we know. They learn how we came to know it. They begin to own the knowledge.
That’s why Science through Storytelling matters.
This approach aligns closely with the National Curriculum Framework (NCF 2023), which emphasises:
ThinkTales is our way of bringing all of this into real classrooms — simply, playfully, and with rigour.
