Abstract
The purpose of this study is to examine the role of science laboratory equipment in the academic comprehension of students in senior secondary schools. Participants were 120 SS III students and five General science teachers in the selected Secondary Schools in Ijebu Ode Local Government Area of Ogun State. Participants completed the availability and utilization of laboratory inventory-type questionnaires. Correlation research design was adopted for the study. The data were analyzed on the basis of the two hypotheses, using Pearson Product Moment Correlation. Result shows that there is significant relationship between the utilization of laboratory equipment and students’ achievement in General science. The result obtained revealed that most Secondary Schools do not have adequate resources for general science instruction and the few available resources are not properly utilized for general science instructions in schools. This has a strong influence on their academic achievement in the subject.The researcher therefore concluded that when general science teachers made used of laboratory equipment adequately and presenting his teaching in a less abstract manner, the achievement of students in the subject will improved exponentially and this will increase the number of students that will apply to science related courses in higher institutions. Thereby leading to the attainment of scientific and technological advancement of the state and the Nation at large. Based on this, it was strongly recommended that Student should be encouraged to fully involve in the practical class activities so that the teaching and learning of general science will real and effective not only for passing an examinations but for the acquisition of skills that will be needed in future. Government and other stakeholders in education should also assist in ensuring that adequate facilities for teaching and learning of General science in our Senior Secondary Schools are provided and that General science teachers should always make requisition for the materials needed and ensure proper utilization of the materials for General science teaching
