A COMPARISON BETWEEN PRACTICAL WORK AND THEORETICAL WORK AS IT AFFECT THE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF CHEMISTRY STUDENT (A CASE STUDY OF LEACHATE ON THE GERMINATION OF MAIZE SEEDS)

ABSTRACT
This project aims to study the effects of practical work and the theoretical work on the academic performance of chemistry students. This is important as presently in Nigerian, the academic performance of students is decaling due to over indulgence in the oretical work i.e use of lecture methods in teaching. The sample consists of a total of twenty (20) students drawn from Chemistry Departments of College of Education Warri and College of Education, Agbor. The experimental design was employed. The  Analytical Achievement  Test (AAT) was used for data collection, it   was found that the mean score of students involved in practical work was higher (8) than for those involved in the ortical work (4) Also, 100% leach ate concentration is most favorable for the germination and growth of maize seeds. Therefore practical work leads to higher academic performance and thus should be encouraged at all level of education in Nigerian and that leach ate has effect on the germane of maize seeds.
