  ABSTRACT: The study used a quasi-experimental study design to evaluate the effect of a role-play teaching strategy on science students’ interest in the teaching and learning of photosynthesis. The sample comprised third-year biology students of 3 intact classes totaling 157 at Ghana Senior High School, Koforidua. Sixty-three (63) of the students, 21 for each class, volunteered to participate in the role-play. The students answered a 5-point Likert scale questionnaire on whether the use of role-play for teaching and learning photosynthesis was an interesting experience. Chi-square in SPSS version 20 was used to analyze students’ responses to a 5-point Likert scale questionnaire. Analysis of the association between the role-play teaching strategy and the students’ interest indicated a significant association with a p-value of 0.00. To determine the strength of this association, a Phi and Cramer’s V value of 0.422 was obtained, which indicates a moderate association between the role-play and interest.
