The pie chart showed that 96% of the respond do attend practical while the 4% do not attend practical. Table 5: Frequent physics practical. Frequency (Teacher) Student Once a week 3 20 Twice a week 14 Once every two weeks 1 1 Only during term exam 8 Once a year Not at all 12 None of the above TOTAL 4 50 From the table above, 3 teacher respondents to be teaching practical once a weak while one teacher; respondent, once every week. There is need to increase the frequent of physics practical since from 1 represented a 25% respond. There was a distribution in the response among student on the frequent of practical. 12 student respondents as not at which; meaning that from their respond, they were not satisfied with the frequent methods. The data from the, table above was presented below in a combined bar graph. Figure 5 Table 6: Methods of conducting Practical From table above, 3 teachers mostly use demonstration method of teaching practical which involve conducting of practical either in laboratory set-up or classroom. One of the teachers employ the theory method of teaching practical. 46 students responded of using theory method of practical which represented a 85% of the total student. 3 students responded of using demonstration while 1 student reply of using a picture method. The data was presented in the bar chart below.
