The focus of the study is to know whether the use of an innovative tool such as the cottorganic buds will increase the conceptual understanding of the topic in chemistry specifically the carbon compounds. The purpose of the study is to determine if the use of cottorganic buds can improve the conceptual understanding of students in learning organic chemistry. The researcher used the pretest-posttest design that involved the experimental group and the control group which were carefully selected through a randomization procedure. This design allowed the researcher to evaluate the impact of independent variables under naturally occurring conditions. Grade 9 Laozi, the advisory class of the researcher, was the subject but divided into two groups and assigned randomly, to determine the effectiveness of the cottorganic buds. The result of the t-test showed that if the p-value is less than 0.05, then there is a significant difference between the performance of the students who used the cottorganic buds and the students who did not use them. Findings recommend the following: It is suggested that the Science teachers should use the cottorganic buds to deeply explain the topic of organic chemistry or carbon compounds to the students and teachers are encouraged to use the cottorganic buds in other topics under chemistry such as chemical bonding, atoms and balancing equations.
