            Abstract : 
The research proposed in this paper will embrace the possibilities that eLearning tools can bring to Science education. A number of Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR and AR) devices are appearing on the market for research and development. The plan is to develop an Augmented Reality learning object, a software that will enable students to interact with learning resources and scenarios and allow them to experience inquiry-based learning (IBL) in science education.
