<br/><br/> Art-Based Activities in Teaching Biology 9 focused on comparing the academic  performance of Grade 9 Science Technology and Engineering students of Hermosa  National High School under Arts-Based Activity Group (ABAG) and the Non-Arts-Based  Activity Group (NABAG) on the identified least mastered topic in Biology.  Sequential Explanatory was employed in the conduct of the study. The quantitative data  obtained from the results in pretests and post-test were treated using Mean, Standard  Deviation, Dependent and Independent t-test. On the other hand, qualitative data were  obtained from the students' interviews and narrations of experiences. Students' artworks  were analyzed using content analysis. Relationship, pattern and application were the  categorical schemes noted in the outputs of the study.  The results showed that performance of the ABA Group significantly improved after the  conduct of the study while the data obtained from the pretests and post-tests of NABA  Groups noted that there was no notable improvement on the NABAG after the experiment.  Future researches are encouraged to conduct similar study but it is recommended to  consider the economic status of the students since the conduct of Art-Based Activities  requires a lot of financial considerations. Use of local materials for the study may be  recommended.
