This study investigates the lack of availability of science teaching facilities on students teaching and learning science in some selected secondary schools in Kebbi State. Five research questions are developed to capture the topic and questionnaire is designed to obtain information from the respondents which comprise of teachers of the selected schools, 30 population samples were randomly selected from the four schools in the state, percentage and frequency distribution were used to present the result of the information gathered.

Other sources include donations, gifts from philanthropists, spirited people and international organizations. They utilize instructional materials to demonstrate learning concepts in the classroom; they have certain way of maintaining these instructional materials for teaching and learning purposes. However, problems such as poor maintenance culture of school heads, inadequate funds, inexperience in the use of some science teaching materials (laboratory materials) by some teachers, lack of in-service training for teachers, poor storage facilities, lack of interest of some administrative heads and teachers over instructional materials. The findings of the study discovered that some classroom teachers do not use instructional materials to bring about effective learning in the classroom because they lack the required knowledge on how to use the instructional materials appropriately.

Recommendations are made based on the findings that seminars, in-service training and workshop should be organized for teachers on the effective use of instructional materials in the teaching and learning process, there should be supervision and monitoring of the teachers by school administrators during instructional process under classroom condition.
