It aimed at discovering ways of stimulating students' interest and achievements in Biology in Senior Secondary School. The research design used for the study was descriptive survey. The target population for the study was senior secondary school three students SSS3 in Karu LGA of Nasarawa state. Data were collected from 180 SSS3 students which served as sample from six selected schools in Karu LGA of Nasarawa state through simple random sampling. Two research questions and two hypotheses were generated to guide the study. The instrument used for the collection of data for the study was Teachers' classroom attendance questionnaire (TCAQ) developed by the researchers. The reliability coefficient of the instrument was 0.71 using Cronbach Alpha. The analysis used to analyse the data collected for study was descriptive statistics to answer the research questions while Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to test the hypotheses. Scheffe was used as Post Hoc to ascertain the direction of the significance among the levels. Findings revealed that the extent to which teachers' classroom attendance for teaching and learning processes of senior secondary school biology students was therefore high. Also, the students whose teachers had high classroom attendance had highest achievement and interest to Biology. There was significant difference in senior secondary schools students' achievement in Biology, considering teachers' classroom attendance levels. There was significant difference in senior secondary school student's interest in Biology based on teachers' classroom attendance levels (F(2, 177) = 30.514, P<0.05). It is therefore recommended that Biology teachers should sustain constant classroom attendance in order to improve students' academic achievement and interest in the subject. Principals should acknowledge and commend the heightened level of teacher presence in biology classrooms at the senior secondary school level.
