This is an in-depth research study on the challenges confronting students in conducting physics experiment. A descriptive survey was deployed in this research with a total number of 270 Students and 7 teachers, out of which only 120 Students and 4 teachers were randomly selected as the sample. A good number of challenges were identified during the course of this study, which were: difficulty in identification of physics apparatus, mounting the apparatus, taking accurate readings and making careful observations during the experiment, insufficient laboratory apparatus, absence of standard physics laboratory and lack of effective supervision among others. The recommendations made after this research includes supply of adequate laboratory equipment and sufficient provision of a standard physics laboratory.
