| Abstract: | One of the main goals of science education is the development of scientific investigation skills (Bryce & Robertson, 1985;
Woolnough & Allsop, 1985). This paper describes a practical test instrument developed to assess students’ attainment of skills
associated with problem analysis and planning experiments, collecting information, organizing and interpreting information,
and concluding. During administration of the test, students verbalized their thoughts as they worked on the task and their
performance was videotaped for analysis. Preliminary results reveal important areas of student weakness and lead to recommendations
for curriculum reform.
