The study sample consist of 200 primary five pupils and 40 basic science teachers. Two instruments were used for data collection in this study. These include a 15-item questionnaire titled Instructional material and Pupils Academic Performance in Basic Science Questionnaire (TMPAPCSQ) and 40 items Basic Science Achievement Test BSAT. The Pearson product moment correlation analysis was employed to test the hypotheses under study at .05 level of significance and 198 degrees of freedom. The result of the analysis revealed that, all the variables of instructional material have a significant relationship with pupils’ academic performance in basic science among primary school pupils in Akamkpa local government area of Cross River State, Nigeria. Based on the findings, it was recommended among that other teachers in primary schools in Akamkpa should incorporate audiovisual instructional materials into their teaching practices to enhance pupils' academic performance in Basic Science.
