Data were analyzed using ANCOVA, while sheffe post-hoc analysis was used to explain the significant difference. There were significant effects of treatment on students retention of chemistry concepts (Fc2.803) = 151.94 and student of varying abilities (Fc11.242) = 2.03), but, there were no significant effect of treatment on gender of retention ability (Fc1.537) = 1.499) in chemistry.
