Hi Hope,
Science is a very broad topic - could include physics, chemistry, computer science etc. But sciences also have a lot in common - common principles of research, for example.
One way you could start to narrow down your focus is thinking: What is it about science that you love? What are you curious about? What do you love doing? (For instance researching, experimenting/trying new things, recording details and outcomes, etc). What do your classmates and teachers recognize in you that you enjoy doing?
Once you have narrowed down the field a little bit, you could try to find out more about those kind of jobs. For instance, you could ask "What is life like working as a botanist"? or "What is it like to be a genetic researcher"?
I trust that is a good starting point for you.
All the best,
Diana
