Purpose: The main issue in science education is that, given the importance of science education in the world's educational systems, why have we not witnessed its effective implementation in practice? What obstacles are there in this path? And how can we best help the education system achieve its anticipated goals in this area by identifying the harms and providing practical solutions? Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the challenges of teaching science in the four grade of elementary school from the perspective of teachers in Diyala province.
