In teaching methodology, it is very important to pay attention to innovation as countries usually have a map of progress due to new techniques in science education, which are followed by these countries. It is a universal fact that science plays a vital role in the progression of different fields of life. Education of science in accordance with the modern needs of society is very important for increasing literacy rate and empowering future generations in different fields. It is high time to progress in science education, so as to make it challenging to cope with the requirements of the coming times.This study explores the teaching of science through interactive methodologies and its impact on the achievements of the students. The main objective of the study were to assess the impact of teaching science through interactive methodology on students achievement at elementary school level.An experimental study was conducted to understand the effectiveness of both teaching methodology, that is, traditional and interactive methods.The finding of the experimental test showed that students who are taught through interactive methods performed better in the post-test and their average marks increased after the experimental test. The students who are taught by the same traditional method, their pre-test marks and post average marks remained the same. After descriptive analysis the data and bar graph representation, the test score concludes that null hypothesis is rejected.
