The data was collected and analyzed by descriptive and two ways ANOVA. The science test contains 37 multiple choice items and reliability of Cronbach Alpha is 0.64. The findings show that there is significant effect on the group based variables on the mean score of the Science Test. There is also significant effect on the SES based variables on the mean score of Science Test. To encourage the participation of students from Middle Income and Lower Income families, the materials and tools used in module were inexpensive and easy-to-find. The findings also show that there is no significant interaction effect between the group-based variables and SES on the mean score of the Science Test.
