The interest of Senior High School (SHS) students towards the study of science has declined in many countries across the globe including Ghana. On the 14th-15th of November, 2005 member countries of organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) met in Amsterdam to discuss the Declining Students Enrollment in sciences and technology, and suggested that graduates turn out in the sciences in some member countries showed a drop of 30%-50% over the last 8- 10years. West African Examination Council (WAEC) 2008-2015 at the SHS level, suggests that most students perform poorly in biology because they have difficult learning some biology concepts, such as respiration. This is because biology is taught by most teachers in an abstract manner without any teaching and learning materials which in most cases are readily available in our environment, making some of the concepts seem complex and confusing for students. Finley, Steward and Yarroch (1982) have shown that photosynthesis, cellular respiration, protein synthesis, Mendelian genetics mitosis and meiosis, were difficult and important topics for students to learn. Anderson, Sheldon and Dubay (1990) have also indicated that respiration and photosynthesis are difficult for students to learn.
