That will depend on your background and what you want to accomplish. If you have no background in the sciences but want to contribute original, publishable work to the field, it's probably not too likely - not without going back for an education, anyway. There's just so much that's already been done, so much you need to learn before you can even think of something new. But there's always the possibility of going back to school.

You can do Tutoring Online in Math and Science courses. Or better yet if you know anybody that can do web design you can have them design you your own site for educational purposes like posting math and science videos and work-sheets to study along. Just remember to charge users a reasonable fee.

If you have the qualifications a lot of major companies now offer remote-employee positions or allow tele-commuting opportunities. You still need to be qualified for the position, but work arrangements are much more flexible now than in the past.

I work out at home and walk and play tennis. I wouldn't mind being able to use the machines at the gym to tone up, but by working out at home, I know I've incorporated it into my every day life. I don't have to go anywhere to exercise, so that's a good thing.

... :confused:

Let us try to stay on topic here.

If you have not already established some credibility or work history with an employer, it's going to be REALLY hard to convince anybody to pay you to work from home. Believe me - I've been there. If you have some great idea that can result in self-employment from home, you might have a chance. Good luck.
