The experimental group was taught with Learning Togetherstrategy while the control group was taught with conventional teaching method.The hypotheses was tested at 0.05 significance level, t-test statistic was used to test the hypotheses, while descriptive statistics of frequency counts, percentages, means and standard deviations were used to answer the research questions. The study revealed that;students taught Biology content with learning together strategyachieved higher than those taught with conventional method, male students taught Biology with the use of learning together strategy performed better than female students taught with the same strategy.
