Abstract
The study was carried out to find the ’Uses of Instructional Materials by chemistry Teachers in Selected Secondary School in Kaduna Inspectorate’’. Related literatures were reviewed based on the objective of the study. The survey design was used for the study. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data and mean Statistic was used to analyse data collected. The results showed that based on the findings, utilization of chemistry laboratory equipment or materials had help to improve the nature of observation of phenomenon and when teachers make use of laboratory materials, students learn faster. Lack of laboratory facilities to the utilization of chemistry laboratory equipment contribute to massive failure of students and lack of well design and functional chemistry laboratory equally constitute a constrain. The research recommends that Teacher-students relationship should be boosted as it encourages the learner to rely and trust in the abilities of the teacher and also is ready to open-up to him/her. Government, philanthropist and the P.T.A should contribute financially generously to the promotion of improvisation in secondary schools.
