A pretest was administered before the treatment to establish group similarity in their ability. The sample in the experimental group, were exposed to Four Mode of Application Techniques. Two (2) research questions and two null hypotheses guided the conduct of this study. The instruments used for data collection were Biology Achievement Test (BAT). Mean and standard deviations were used to answer research questions while t-test were used to test the hypotheses at p
