The instruments used for data collection are Basic Science Performance Test (BSPT) and Basic Science Students‟ Interest Questionnaire (BSSIQ). Descriptive statistics was used to analyze responses to the four (4) stated research questions and Hypothesis 1 was analyzed using Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test, hypothesis 2 and 4 were computed by ANCOVA while hypothesis 3 was analyzed by Kruskal Wallis.The analyses and results of the data collected were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) and the level of significance adopted for rejecting or retaining the stated hypotheses was set at P≤0.05.The findings from the study indicates that: there was a significant difference between the mean interest level of students in the experimental group before and after the treatment. There was a significant difference in the mean posttest scores of the experimental and control groups. There was a significant difference between the mean interest level of male and female students in the experimental group before and after the treatment. There was no significant difference in the mean posttest scores of male and female of the students taught using Graphic-Advance-Organizers. It was concluded that GraphicAdvance-Organizers has the potential of enhancing Junior Secondary School Students‟ Interest and Performance in Basic Science. Based on the findings of the research it was recommended among others that there should be training and retraining by SUBEB, STAN etc. of Basic Science teachers on the use and design of Graphic-Advance-Organizers, secondly Graphic-Advance-organizers should be used by Basic Science teachers in teaching at Junior Secondary schools, also the use of Graphic-Advance-organizers should be encouraged in co-educational schools since it is gender friendly.
