Abstract: The present study envisages science learning through simple experiments. Experimental method of investigation is designed on the basis of the problem, assumption and hypotheses formulated and it also warrants a psychometrically sound design, procedure, tools and execution. This experimental study was conducted for students, both boys and girls belonging to classes V and VI in government, government-aided and matriculation schools. The outcome of the study revealed that students in whatever school they may be did show a significant improvement in their science learning performance despite the gender after exposure to experimentation. It is pertinent to explain that knowledge and understanding has been made easy through experiential learning.
