The integration of digital tools and simulation in science education has revolutionized teaching methodologies, enhancing student engagement and learning outcomes. Digital technologies such as virtual laboratories, interactive simulations, and artificial intelligence-based tutoring systems provide students with immersive experiences that traditional methods may lack. This research explores the effectiveness of digital tools in science education, analyzing their impact on conceptual understanding, critical thinking, and student performance. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, incorporating surveys, interviews, and experimental classroom observations. The findings suggest that while digital tools enhance interactive learning and practical application, challenges such as accessibility, teacher training, and technological constraints must be addressed for effective implementation. The study underscores the need for a balanced approach that combines traditional teaching with innovative digital methodologies.

The rapid advancement of technology has significantly influenced education, particularly in the field of science. Digital tools such as simulations, virtual labs, and interactive applications provide students with dynamic learning environments that foster engagement and conceptual understanding (Clark et al., 2016). Science education traditionally relies on laboratory experiments and hands-on activities, but digital tools enhance these experiences by offering virtual alternatives that simulate real-world phenomena, making abstract concepts more accessible (Smetana & Bell, 2012).
