The advent of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning has made remarkable impart in all sectors of human activities. In the field of science education, integrating AI and ML have opened new dimensions for improving learning experiences by offering individualized learning, adaptive feedback, innovative pedagogues and data-driven insights that enable science students and teachers to engage with science content and materials in interactive and personalized ways. AI-tools such as virtual tutors, intelligent simulations, and algorithms analyze students' learning patterns, generate context-specific assistance that deepens conceptual understanding of science concepts and problem-solving skills of students. This paper reviews the benefits AI and ML in fostering inquiry-based learning, creating immersive virtual labs where students can conduct experiments in simulated environments, thus helping to mitigate the challenges often posed by poor equipment in physical science laboratories especially in low economies. It highlights how AI tools can improve accessibility to otherwise complex topics, facilitate effective continuous assessment of students’learning outcome and improve students’ motivation to learn science through instant feedback. However, the integration of AI and ML in science education raises some concerns. The issue of privacy, over-dependence on technology, perpetrating educational inequalities due to differentials in access are critical challenges requiring mitigation. Ethical implications of using biased data and inability of AI to enhance critical thinking and creativity compared to human teachers are instructive. A balance in human and technology integration in science education is suggested.  \nKeywords: Artificial intelligence; Machine learning; SCIENCE education; science learning; learning experiences; Educational technology  \n1. Introduction  \nThe rapid advancement of technology has profoundly influenced all landscapes especially education. From traditional classrooms to digital learning environments, technology has emerged as a transformative force, reshaping how humans perceive, impart, acquire, and apply knowledge in virtually all domains (Liando & Tatipang, 2024; Haidir, 2023; Nykyporets et al., 2023; Cheung et al.,2021; Groff, 2013) . This evolution has ushered in a new era in education characterized by enhanced accessibility, engagement, and customization (Malik, 2023; Bondac & Hrestic 2023; Crawford, 2017) . The growing role of technology in education and technology of education can be observed across various dimensions. Digital tools, ranging from interactive learning platforms to virtual simulations, have become integral components of modern pedagogical approaches (Kiong, 2023; Li, 2023; Haleem et al., 2022; Guaña-Moya et al., 2022; Asad et al., 2021; Makarova & Makarova, 2018) . These tools facilitate dynamic and immersive learning experiences that cater to diverse learning styles, engaging students in ways that textbooks and lectures alone cannot achieve. The availability of online resources and open educational materials have democratized education, breaking down geographical barriers and expanding learning opportunities beyond traditional classroom settings. This accessibility is particularly important in bridging educational gapsand promoting lifelong learning, as learners of all ages can access a wealth of information at their own pace and convenience (Luo, 2022; Inegbedion, 2022;  \nCondruzbacescu, 2020; Nobre, 2020; Faridi & Ebad, 2018; Ritella, 2017) . Of note is the impact of collaborative technologies which have transformed the way students interact with peers and educators.
