This study adopted a mixed-method approach with a pretest-posttest control group design. Tools used for the data collection were semi-structured interviews, survey questionnaires, class observation, and test questions. Qualitative data were analysed thematically, while quantitative data were analysed using descriptive statistics such as mean and standard deviation. The finding of the study revealed that the integration of ICT in the science classroom enhances students’ engagement and academic achievement in the test. Further, online science resources such as websites and YouTube videos were found to be more effective in learning science.
