This article is devoted to studying the theoretical and practical aspects of using interactive methods in teaching natural sciences to primary school students. The aim of the research is to increase the interest of 1st–4th grade students in natural sciences through interactive methods, to develop their scientific-research skills (observation, experimentation, analysis, and drawing conclusions), and to provide concrete pedagogical recommendations for improving the effectiveness of lessons. The research methods included literature analysis, pedagogical observation, trial lessons, tests and rubrics to assess students’ knowledge and skills, as well as teacher interviews. In the practical part, lessons were conducted over four months in several primary schools using interactive techniques such as group work, role-playing, mini-experiments, dialogic discussions, and visual materials. The research sample consisted of 80 students (grades 1–4) and 6 experienced teachers.
