Abstract: Background: Experimental practices in Chemistry are vital as an instructional method for better understanding of concepts. The study was done to determine the influence of teaching resources in chemistry practicals on performance in chemistry subject. The objective of the study was to ascertain definitely how teaching resources in chemistry practicals influenced performance in the entire subject. Methodology: A survey design was adopted where a sample size of three hundred and seventy seven respondents were selected in a random manner from teachers who instructed chemistry and a cohort of students in the third year from secondary schools sponsored by the Kenyan government in Narok County. The instruments for data collection were questionnaire, interview and observation schedule. The data obtained were analyzed statistically using SPSS software and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Results: The findings indicated that majority of laboratories were not equipped with apparatus and reagents for conducting practical. Time allocation was somehow sufficient for handling practicals but inadequate for individualized activities. Teaching resources contributed significantly to performance in chemistry subject (P
