SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATION
• Biology is the scientific study of life which requires
the use of scientific skills
Science process skills Manipulative skills
~ Promote thinking in a critical,
creative and analytical manner.
These
skills help scientists to systematically
find answers and explanation to a
phenomenon
Psychomotor skills required to
carry out a successful scientific
investigation.
