The results showed that female students performed better then male students in science achievement.
This finding is consistent with a study by Andre, Whigham, Hendrickson and Chambers (1999),
which showed that females out performed males in science.
This indicates that female students put more effort into their studies and are more consistent and serious than male students. This may be due to some indications which show that male students are becoming the disadvantaged gender in schools, and that fewer male students are interested in science
