Abstract
The study was conducted to determine the level of achievement in different concepts of
science of students grade III in Punjab, Pakistan. The sample consisted of 800 students of 32
government schools of Punjab. The achievement test was developed based on grade III
textbook published by Punjab Textbook Board. Twenty five students were selected randomly
from each school. The level of achievement of students was assessed in different concepts of
grade III science i.e. structure & function of plant, animal, characteristics of life, environment,
matter & its characteristics, force& movement, energy¸ electricity, magnetic and structure of
earth. To assess the level of achievement in each concept mean and standard deviation were
calculated. To compare achievement level among male, female, urban and rural students,
independent t-test was conducted. The results reflect that the achievement scores in the
concepts of animal, characteristics of life and structure of earth are better than achievement
scores in the concepts of electricity & magnetic, environment, force & movement, energy,
matter & its characteristics and structure & function of plant. The achievement of female
students is better than achievement of male students in structure & function of plant, animal,
characteristics of life, environment, matter & its characteristics, electricity &magnetic and
structure of earth. But there is no difference in the performance of male and female in
concepts of force and energy. The achievement of urban students is better than achievement of
rural students in concepts of energy, structure of earth. While rural students are better in
concept of environment as compare to urban students.
