The research design used was Ex-post-Facto. The instruments for the study were Questionnaire on Student Attitude to Physics Practical (QSAPP) and Physics Concept Test (PCT). Using Crombach alpha method, the instruments were found reliable at 0.82 and 0.72 respectively. The Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient was used to analyze the data. Findings showed that students’ attitude is significantly related to the understanding of concept in Physics practical, but their gender had no significant relationship. In conclusion, positive attitude is very important towards understanding of concept in Physics practical. It was therefore recommended that teachers and the school administrators should boost the morale of students by teaching Physics practical concept through less stressful methods and modifying all influencing factors in the classroom
