Fairy tales have long captivated the imaginations of children and adults alike, offering enchanting narratives that transport readers to magical realms. However, the potential for a unique and engaging approach to science education lies beneath the surface of these captivating stories. This paper explores the use of fairy tales as a pedagogical tool in physics education. By integrating scientific concepts into the fabric of well-known fairy tales, educators can leverage the power of storytelling to ignite curiosity, promote critical thinking, and enhance understanding of complex physics principles. This interdisciplinary approach bridges the gap between the fantastical and the factual, fostering a deeper appreciation for scientific inquiry and encouraging students to participate actively in their learning journey.
