Abstract: The focus of the article is on adoption of E-learning as a panacea to the effects of COVID-19Pandemic on the teaching and learning of science in Nigerian Secondary Schools. It is argued that conventional. Strategies of teaching are not adequate for teaching science during the pandemic because of the lockdown and social distancing. The script is of the view that E-learning would be the best alternative, however the various modes of E-learning required face-to-face lecturing, which may not be possible at this period. In light of this, the author believed the Google classroom and the zoom session frameworks, which have been in vogue in many countries of the world could be the best. The paper reviewed the benefits of Google classroom and Zoom based on the countries that had used the method. The manuscript mentioned some challenges that can militate the implementation of the strategy in Nigeria, it was concluded that Google classroom and Zoom session could be the alternative to science teaching and learning at this period if all the challenges mentioned were mitigated. Finally, the implications of the paper were highlighted.
