Abstract :
Science and ICT are two important aspects of School education. Science deals with creative thoughts, ideas, problem-solving, critical analysis, and experimental practices. Whereas ICT in education refers to the use of information and communication technologies to improve teaching and learning processes. This includes a broad range of digital tools, platforms, and resources that can maintain various aspects of education. It supports experiential learning where students discover their interests, and abilities and learn through their own experiences. Biology as a branch of Science is generally taught with a concrete commitment to its disciplinary strength having its core elements and definite perimeter. The present article was an attempt to discuss the impact of ICT (Information and Communication Technology) on teaching learning of Biological science and its importance in better-understanding concepts of Biological Science at the secondary level. The audio-video content and virtual lab activities were used in teaching-learning strategies. The study was experimental and primary data were used for analysis of the study.
