What is difference between science fiction and fairy tale?
Up to a point, Fairy tales- and fantasy in general, was a forerunner of science fiction. Anderson ( Hans Christian, not Gerry) used some elements of science fiction in one of his stories to make things believable. In the Little mermaid it was explained that Mermaids have a natural lifespan of 300 years ( three times the Human maximum) but at the end of this span they disintegrate or dissolve into the water- this explains the lack of Mermaid fossils and is not too different from UFO"s that explode or vanish when they get too close to observers. There is a surprising overlap. The science fiction plot of Suspended Animation was pioneered by such characters as Aurora ( Sleeping Beauty) and Snow White. Mermaid I have already mentioned. one genre borrows from the other. Sci Fi has a ( scientific) explanation whereas fantasy uses magic and supernatural powers. It can be argued that Pinocchio ( written in l870"s) owes a lot to Frankenstein.

How is magic and science related?
magic and science is related because lots of magic needs combinations of chemicals at times. Like for example if you put a string into water and salt mixture, and then tie the string around a ring and if you burn the ring it looks like the ring is floating in a way. (Note: we assume you mean magic in the "stage magic" sense. If you mean "actual real magic", they're related in the sense that science has pretty much proven that "actual real magic" is entirely bogus.)
