The main objective of the present study is to explore the comparison of male and female science performance. The participants in the study consisted of 680 lower secondary school children, 14 year olds (317 male and 363 female) at Tehran and Shahriar city, the province of Tehran, Iran. The research design was an ex-post facto and tested the alternative hypothesis. The students’ science performance which measured by the report school test was used to assess science performance. Descriptive statistics, and to compare male and female students in science performance ANOVA was used.
