Existing studies indicated that increasing effectiveness in teaching and learning positively influence performance not only in Physics but other subjects also. The objectives of this study were; to determine the effects of physics practical on performance; to find out the nature of physics practical and to determine how frequency of physics practical influence performance. A descriptive correlation study was carried out in selected secondary schools in Matayos Sub- County, Busia County. The target populations for this study included 15 physics teachers and 180 students totalling to 195 respondents. 65 of the population will be sampled using random sampling technique.
