In my world the concept of Science and Magic works in two different ways. They can either be two separate things or they can intertwine. I have my concept with science such as human technology and advances and I have my concept for magic being your standard mythical creatures, witchcraft and basic Fairy Tail magic that's a little more advanced, but I really want to figure out a way to intertwine the two concepts so what are some tips I can do to have science and Magic intertwine each other ?

So there's the theory that all magic is just tech we don't understand yet. Maybe learning magic winds up being an extensive chemistry lesson (like witches spells) or a lesson in subatomic tomfoolery (like fairy magic). Perhaps its part of a biology we don't have the science to understand (like non-sentient creatures who wield magic).

Or, think about things like how science allows us new methods of manufacturing and refining. Perhaps a material, like a gem or a metal, has a magical property, and you could build tech from that material. Like, instead of a regular quartz-and-silver watch, it's a magic metal-and-magic gem watch, that tells the time, but has settings for going back and forward in time. A tech piece, but with magic from the materials.

Or, discovering new ways to make our magic stronger as we solve science and tech problems. Trying to get a rocket to the nocturnal cheese wheel? Helped us solve the universal clingy-ness equation, and now brooms can fly. Trying to cure mental illness? We figured out how the mind works enough to learn magical hypnosis and mind reading. Discovered a new element by particle collision? It's also the element that helps us manipulate matter, allowing shape-shifting magic to become a controllable power.

Just some thoughts :)
