Abstract
The study conducted in Kapchorwa district, Eastern Uganda, assessed the availability and
utilization of Physics Laboratory Equipment (PLE) in secondary schools. The research involved
70 students and 30 Physics teachers from 10 out of 16 schools, selected randomly and
purposively respectively. Data was gathered through a questionnaire, an equipment checklist,
and a Physics Achievement Test (PAT). The results indicated that the effective use of PLE
significantly improves Physics teaching. Private schools, which had a good amount of PLE and
utilization, scored well in achievement tests. However, public schools with the least equipment
and utilization had the lowest scores. The study concluded that a well-equipped science
laboratory is essential for high-quality Physics education in Kapchorwa secondary schools.
