Teaching of Physics in secondary schools has not yielded desired results in the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education examinations generally in Kenya and especially in Matayos Subcounty, Busia County. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of physics practicals on students’ performance in Matayos sub-county Busia County. 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. Questionnaire was used to collect data. Data collected quantitatively and quantitatively were analyzed using descriptive statistics such as means, mode, median, frequency and percentages. The findings will be presented in tables, graphs, charts.
