Abstract: While educators emphasize that the knowledge of ecology is important to man’s progress, researchers have noted that the learning of ecology related concepts is relatively difficult. As part of the contribution to arrest the situation, this study was designed to determine the effects of cartoon-incorporated instructional strategy on students´ achievement on ecology in Delta State. The designed employed for this study is a quasi-experimental non- equivalent control group’s pre-test and post-test design. The study was carried out in four randomly selected co-educational secondary schools in the three senatorial district of Delta State. The sample for the study consisted of 235 (SSII) students from four randomly selected intact classes in the sampled schools. Data for the study were collected using the Biology Achievement test (BAT). The instrument was subjected to face and content validity. The four intact classes were assigned to experimental group and control group respectively. Research questions were answered using mean and standard deviation. Hypotheses were tested using inferential statistics t-test and Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) at 0.05 level of significance. Findings from the study revealed that cartoon-incorporated instructional strategy enhanced student’s achievement of Ecology more than the lecture method of teaching. Recommendation and suggestion for further study were made based on the findings of the study.
