The study investigated the impact of inadequate instructional materials on the effective teaching and learning of Physics in senior secondary schools.. A single research question and one research hypothesis served as the study's compass. Both were developed and tested at the P < 0.05 significant level, providing the data needed to determine whether the hypothesis should be accepted or rejected. The study employed a descriptive research design. The instrument for the research is a structured questionnaire. Three hundred and sixty SSII Physics students from senior secondary schools in Bwari Area Council, Abuja, make up the study participant population.The stratified random sampling was used to accommodate every stratum of people that make up the population. The data was analyzed with the use of mean, standard deviation and T-test. The result of the study showed that the teaching and learning of Physics is greatly impacted by inadequate instructional materials. The researcher recommends that; the government and stake holders should make available adequate instructional materials for the teaching and learning of Physics and Physics teachers should get used to the culture of using instructional materials during lessons as this will help to develop future engineers.
