Abstract-This study evaluated the Impact of YouTube Educational Videos in Teaching Pollination Concepts among Biology Students in Sabon Gari. A quasi-experimental design was adopted. The population comprised of 94 students from the selected two schools with two intact classes from the study area, in which one school served as an experimental and the other served as a control group. The experimental group students were given instruction utilising YouTube while the control group students were instructed utilising the conventional method. A data collection instrument titled the Pollination Achievement Test (PAT) was employed for the study. It was validated and reliability tested by using test-retest and PPMC was used for analysis to determine 0.71 as the coefficient value. The study found that there is a significant difference in the mean scores of students taught pollination concepts using YouTube and those taught using conventional teaching methods with a t-value of 4.37 and p-value of 0.00. Also, there is no significant difference in the mean scores of both male and female students when taught pollination using YouTube with a t-value of 1.12 and p-value of 0.26.The study among others recommended use of YouTube in teaching the biology concept of pollination in secondary school should be encouraged as it is empirically established that it enhances academic performance among biology students while teaching them the concept of pollination, teachers and schools should be equipped with modern facilities and instructional packages to enable the teachers/tutors to carry out their lessons via the YouTube instructional strategy method.
