Like most uncountable nouns like bread, water, milk, etc. the plural (breads, waters, milks) is used when discussing different types or varieties.
Science would be used when talking about all branches of science lumped together, but when we talk about the different types of science (natural, social, physical, etc.) we use sciences.
