Published to tie in with Mick Jackson's appointment as the first writer-in-residence at the Science Museum, Junior Science comprises three stories - 'Zero Gravity', 'The Answering Machine', and 'Back to School'. Commissioned by BBC Radio 4, they were originally broadcast in November 2011.

Full of wonder, pathos and mystery, the stories are marked by Jackson's unique sensibility, as they explore the way children start to become aware of the world around them.
