The best way to teach people is by telling a story

- Kenneth Blanchard

Science can be a tricky subject to introduce to kids. The more challenging part is to help them develop a liking for it. While kids love reciting poems and playing, getting them to understand facts and theories could be a tough task. That is where science-based stories come in.

We have compiled a list of 10 best science stories that will ignite the minds of a young one and make them understand complex scientific concepts in a simplified manner.
