The integration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) into the teaching of natural sciences in primary education has become a key factor in enhancing the quality and effectiveness of the learning process. Modern digital tools, including multimedia applications, virtual simulations, interactive platforms, and digital assessment systems, provide opportunities to improve students’ scientific understanding, increase motivation, and support individualized learning. This article explores strategies for improving the use of ICT in teaching natural sciences at the primary level, identifies existing challenges, and proposes methodological recommendations to strengthen digital instructional practices.
