Abstract
This study investigated the effect of flip chart and audio-visual instructional materials on students’ academic achievement in Biology in Abak Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State. A quasi-experimental design using the pre-test, post-test, non-equivalent control group format was adopted. The population consisted of all SS2 Biology students in public secondary schools, from which 90 students were purposively selected. Three groups were
