The sample consists of 480 XI th grade studentsfrom selected schools of Haldwani city in Uttarakhand. The finding of the study shows that students have an average level of concept achievement in newton laws of motion. Present study also reveals that gender differences do exist in concept achievement of newton laws of motion, with boys outperforming girls in PCAT. | ||
