Science education plays a crucial role in equipping students with the knowledge, skills, and practical competencies necessary for technological and societal advancement. In Nigeria, science is offered across multiple levels of education, including elementary science at the primary level, integrated or basic science at the junior secondary level, and specialized subjects such as physics, chemistry, biology, and mathematics at the senior secondary level. These subjects form the foundation of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education, which is essential for national development. The primary objective of science education is to provide learners with hands-on experience, enhance their understanding of scientific concepts, develop critical thinking, and prepare future scientists capable of applying scientific knowledge to solve real-world problems. Effective science teaching requires the use of practical, innovative, and student-centered approaches, including improvised teaching materials, to foster engagement, comprehension, and skill acquisition. This study underscores the importance of practical-oriented science instruction in transforming learners into competent individuals who can contribute meaningfully to technological progress and societal improvement.
