The study was aimed at finding out the extent to which experiments are integrated in the teaching and learning of physics. A case study was employed and the study was carried out in Binga district. The researcher used an observation schedule, interviews for the teachers, focus groups and questionnaires for the learners to gather data on the use of experiments in the teaching and learning of physics and results indicated that motivation and performance improved when experiments are used. The researcher used a sample of all the form three physics in Binga district.
