Abstract

Soursop (Annona muricata) peels was analysed for its proximate composition. It was found to contain 3.2 % dark green oil, 10.65 % crude protein, 21.3% moisture, 3.8 % ash, 12.69 % crude fiber, 31.31 % carbohydrates and 4.40 % ash. The elemental composition of the peel was determined, using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy. It was found to contain Calcium (32.45 mg/100 g), magnesium (48.23 mg/100 g), zinc (125.15 mg/100 g), phosphorus (128.24 mg/100 g), iron (72.52 mg/100 g) and manganese (3.82 mg/100 g). Extraction of oil from the peel was also carried out using sohxlet extraction method. Some chemical Characteristics of the oil was determined. The result showed that the oil have a saponification value of 131.84 mg, iodine value of 66.68 mg/100 g, free fatty acid value of 3.64 mg, and oleic acid value of 0.1889 mg.

Abstract

This research work investigates the impact of Information and Communications Technology instructional methods on the interest and performance in Chemistry by Senior Secondary School Students within Aguata Education Zone of Anambra State. The research design that was used in the study is a quasi-experimental pre-test, post-test and control group design from an intact class. Four research questions were raised and three hypotheses were tested at 0. 05 level of significance. The population of the study therefore included 2,644 Senior Secondary School Students Class Two from nine out of the 52 public schools in Aguata Education Zone. Chemistry Interest Inventory (CII) was the instrument used for data collection while Chemistry Achievement Test (CAT) was also used and these two were analyzed using Cronbach Alpha and Kuder- Richardson (K-20) respectively revealed a reliability coefficient of CII is 0.64) and the reliability coefficient of CAT is 0.73. For the research questions, mean and standard deviation were used to analyze the collected data. The hypotheses were tested at 0. 05 level of significance using analysis of covariance. The findings revealed that there was a significant improvement in students’ cognitive achievement and interest in chemistry due to ICT instructional packages. And, that gender does not affect the performance of students that were taught Chemistry with ICT instructional package. In light of this, it was recommended that Chemistry teachers should adopt ICT constructional methods in the teaching of Chemistry in Senior Secondary Schools.
